帮我看一个非谓语动词选择题
6.The professor could hardly find sufficient grounds _____ his arguments in favor of the new theory.
A.to be based on B.to base on C.which to base on
D.on which to base
D 为什么不能A呢?
6. The professor could hardly find sufficient grounds _____ his arguments in favor of the new theory.
A. to be based on B. to base on C. which to base on
D. on which to base
答案:D 为什么不能A呢?
答:首先你将这题作为一个句型背下来.
on which to base sth. 相当于定语从句on which you can base sth.
可以看作类似于疑问不定式的之类的东西.我们知道疑问不定式可以作宾语,如:I don't know what to do.= I don't know what I can do.
同理,介词+which +to do sth. =介词+which sb. can/could do sth. 只不过是作后置定语的.
本句=The professor could hardly find sufficient grounds on which he could base his arguments in favor of the new theory.
那教授很难找到足够的支撑他的有利于这个新理论的基础.
定语从句还原就是:He could base his arguments in favor of the new theory on these grounds.
是将其arguments 建立在这些个grounds上.
而如果选A,则是一个不定式的被动式作后置定语,相当于:...grounds which would be based on his arguments..., 也就是说,这些grounds 是被建立在其arguments之上的.这就不符合逻辑上.
我们是将house建在地面上:to base a house on the ground, 也就是说the house is based on the ground 而不是the ground is based on the house
明白了吗?
