英语史上(据说)有最多歧义的句子!

发布者: kevin | 发布时间: 2005-12-7 18:30| 查看数: 29572| 评论数: 17|

英语虽是当今的世界语,但依然充斥着歧义句,含糊不清,往往一句两解,不太明确。   英国近代两位文法大师Jocobs与Rosendbaum合著的English Transformational Grammar为我们提供了“一句六解”的例句,可说是当代歧义句子之中的最高纪录。   请大家细读这句有史以来最多解法的话:   The Seniors were told to stop demonstrating on campus.   暂时不要往下看,动一动脑筋,看看能列出多少个解法。   自我挑战,学思并重,也是提高中英语文水平的诀窍!   语文巨擘Jocobs与Rosenbaum说:非英语国家的学生能揣摩出三解就已很棒了!你试一试,可能也会觉得趣味盎然。 你可以点击帖子上端的“回复帖子”进行回复!设置定员贴!请参看此贴https://www.enfamily.cn/dispbbs.asp?boardID=11&ID=2108&page=1 回复后可看答案哦^_^:

Very informative and illuminating. I have reprinted [转帖] it to our BBS as one example of ambiguity in writing. Your post now appears on the 第 32 楼 of http://www.rainlane.com/dispbbs.asp?boardid=8&id=13605&star=4#92662 as an extra and very interesting example to the topic of 'Ambiguity" that appears on 第 8 楼 of that thread.( Common Mistakes in Writing #4. Ambiguities. message 8 8 楼 ) And yes, I always follow the proper academic procedure of mentioning where the transfer is coming from. A link to the article here is attached to the reprint. Ha Ha. I don't think there is a problem, not like some other forums. One tutorial school (Enbo) has a feud with another tutorial school (diandian). Any link with diandian.net--even in the manner of a normal academic paper referece-- appearing on enbo school BBS will automatically be censored and replaced by ********. What kind of silly narrowmindedness is that? It is totally unbecoming for academics. They are behaving like merchants: MacDonald not allowing people to mention Harmburger King in their restaurants. Oh well, if they want to consider themselves as merchants instead of educators, so be it.[em06][em06]

以下是引用kevin在2006-2-23 10:18:21的发言:

I second the idea.

I second that, too.[em07]

我的第一反应是

The Seniors were told to stop demonstrating on campus

学校里让大四学生停止在校园里示威游行.
