First discovered more than 30 years ago, Lina's sunbird, a four-and-a-half-inch animal found in the Philippines and that resembles a hummingbird, has shimmering metallic colors on its head; a brilliant orange patch, bordered with red tufts, in the center of its breast; and a red eye.
found in the Philippines and that resembles
found in the Philippines and that, resembling
found in the Philippines and resembling
that is found in the Philippines and it resembles
that is found in the Philippines and that, resembling
A. And that没有平行对象
B. 划线部分使得resembling a hummingbird成为插入语,that连接has shimmering metallic colors,这样以来,分号前的分句句子结构不完整,缺少谓语。
C. 正确。
D. that is多余,and it resembles部分it多余
E. that is多余
句子结构:First discovered…, Lina’s sunbird, … animal found… and resembling…, has shimmering…; (句子使用了分号,将长句分隔成了两个相对独立的分句,两分句不存在从属关系,属于同一层次的句子。)
First discovered谓语句首,过去分词修饰有被动的含义,discovered的逻辑宾语即句子的主语Lina’s sunbird. 包括划线部分在内的逗号之间的成分为主语Lina’s sunbird的同位语,found… and resembling…, 过去分词与现在分词两个分词结构平行。
考点:平行对称(Parallelism), 简洁有效(Rhetorical Construction) 划线部分为同位语的修饰成分,过去分词与现在分词分词结构可以平行。过去分词表示被动;现 在分词表一直延续的特性。(相似的过去分词与现在分词平行的用法,读者可以参考OG10-210 题。) 定语从句结构出现 that/who/which be,而去掉后对句子结构不产生任何影响时,应该去掉 that/who/which be,以保持句子的简洁性。
