sat 语法题 请高手指点
at the conclusion of the novel of The Great Gatsby, Nick Carraway, a young Midwesterner recently arrived to New York, moodily watches the blinking green light at the tip of Long Island.
问题是答案说arrived to 错了,现在网上一种说法是arrive 后面的介词to 错了,还有一种说法是因为The Great Gatsby是一本书,所以arrived to 的时态错了,请教真确解释.
还有一个问题是从一句话来看, 逗号后面的moodily watches the blinking green .这个在整句话里是什么成分,我实在搞不清楚,因为前面已经有arrive这个动词了
谢谢
At the conclusion of the novel of The Great Gatsby, Nick Carraway, a young Midwesterner recently arrived to New York, moodily watches the blinking green light at the tip of Long Island.
1、不及物动词 arrive 要表示到达某地,后面只能用介词 at,此处只有改为 arrived at才说得过去
——说明介词to 确实用错了.
2、通过以下的结构分析确定是否还有其他错误:
时间状语:At the conclusion of the novel of The Great Gatsby, ——在The Great Gatsby这部小说写完的时候(at the conclusion of 是习惯用法,表示“当...完结时”)
主句:Nick Carraway moodily watches the blinking green light at the tip of Long Island. ——尼克•卡拉维郁郁寡欢地望着长岛顶端闪烁着的绿光(the tip of Long Island区属纽约所辖,从谓语动词 watches 可知 Nick Carraway 此刻就在纽约)
同位语从句:a young Midwesterner recently arrived at New York, —— 一个年轻的中西部人最近曾经来到过纽约(从动词过去式 arrived 又知 Nick Carraway 曾经到过纽约,说明在纽约只是过去的行为,此刻已经离开)
通过上述分析,发现从句的 arrived 与主句的 watches 时态前后矛盾,出现了时空错位,因此应该改为 has arrived(过去来到,当前还在)
——又说明 arrived 的时态也错了,应该用完成时态 has arrived.
综上所述,arrived to 有两处错误,需要改为 has arrived at.
3、关于逗号后面的moodily watches the blinking green .请看上面第二点分析中对主句和从句部分的解释.
