二十道选择题答案与解说
在回答解说问题之前, 我想先谈一谈虚悬分词的语法错误:
虚悬分词(dangling participle)或无依着分词或虚悬短语(dangling participle phrase), 是一个含有现在分词或过去分词的短语, 经常出现在一个句子的前半部(少数出现在后半部), 但因为修饰了错误的主词, 使整个句子无法显示出合乎逻辑的意义.
01. _______ Jupiter, amateur astronomers with good telescopes should be able to see the comet within the next few weeks.
a) Although just inside the orbit of
b) Orbiting just inside
c) Just inside the orbit of
d) Although it is just inside the orbit of
解说: 正确答案是d. 我们先看错误的选择a, b, 跟c, 一开始的叙述是: 在木星的轨道内运行, 它们修饰的是随后的业余天文学家(amateur astronomers), 显然不合逻辑. 我们再回头看选择d, 一开始的叙述是: 虽然它在木星的轨道内运行, 业余天文学家应该可以在未来几周内使用适当的天文望远镜观察到这颗彗星.
编者注: 网友可以发现到正确的答案与错误选择之间的差距非常微小, 如果网友发现类似这种错误的句子, 应该不难去加以修正; 这个修正经常可以把主词或其代词先放在前面的短语里就不会形成"虚悬短语".
02. Changing the oil every 3,000 miles, ___________.
a) the car seemed to run better
b) we can keep our car running smoothly
c) there is an easy way to keep your car running smoothly
d) the car was kept in excellent condition
解说: 正确答案是b. 首先我们来看一看Changing the oil every 3,000 miles这个短语, 到底是谁应该每三千英哩换一次汽车机油? 是车子自己换, 还是车主来换? 当然是车主换机油, 所以选择b是正确的. 选择a是错在车子(the car)被修饰; 选择c错在an easy way被修饰; 选择d也错在车子(the car)被修饰.
编者注: 我们可以修改前面的短语为: If we change the oil every 3,000 miles, the car would run better或者The car would run better if we change the oil every 3,000 miles; 如此就不会产生误解.
03. At age seven, ___________.
a) she lost her grandfather
b) her grandfather passed away
c) her mother lost her father
d) it was tragic that her grandfather passed away
解说: 正确答案是a. 首先我们来看一看At age seven这个短语, 到底是谁在七岁时她祖父过逝? 这个女子? 还是她祖父? 还是她妈妈? 当然是这个女子, 所以选择a是正确的. 选择b是错在她祖父不可能在七岁时过逝; 选择c错在她母亲失去了不知是谁的"她父亲", 这个没有定义的her father无法令人解释是谁; 选择d错在"在七岁时"之后没有主词可以修饰.

b) it was raining hard
c) the sky turned dark
d) I walked back to my hotel

编者注: 假如我们想要使选择a, b跟c都可以被正确使用的话, 我们要修改前面的短语为:

After I had finished the dinner, it was raining hard.
After I had finished the dinner, the sky turned dark.
