一道sat语法题
A great gray owl a(flying low) across a forest clearing,its b(wings beating) quietly and its ultrasensitive ears turned to the c(faint sounds) made by small d(creatures concealed) under leaves.
但我想问问为什么b的beating 不用跟 后边and its ultrasensitive ears turned中的turned平行?

Answer 1

本题答案 是a 应改为 谓语动词
本句的问题就在于整个句子的谓语动词 到底是哪个,是fly,beat,还是turned
如果根据平行结构,即刻判断B选项beating错误,因为它与and 后面的turned不平行.这样的话,整个句子便犯了“主次不分”的错误.its wings beating quietly and its ultrasensitive ears turned to the faint sounds 是表示伴随状态的 两个独立主格结构 作状语,前者是现在分词的独立主格结构 与逻辑主语its wings是主动关系 后者是过去分词的独立主格结构 与逻辑主语 its ultrasensitive ears是被动关系 .而主句主语是a gray owl,却缺少谓语动词,所以选项为A (flying low).
