137. Joachim Raff and Giacomo Meyerbeer are examples of the kind of composer who receives popular acclaim while living, often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again.
(A) often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again
(B) whose reputation declines after death and never regains its status again
(C) but whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status
(D) who declines in reputation after death and who never regained popularity again
(E) then has declined in reputation after death and never regained popularity
答案解析如下:
(A)often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again
【错误1】 句子意思:语法上“goes into decline(下降)”的逻辑主语是“composer(作曲家)”,但这并不合理,下降的应是作曲家的“reputation(名誉)”,而不是作曲家本身。
【错误2】 简洁明了:“regains”意为“再一次获得”,“again”意为“再一次地”,两者语义重复。
(B)whose reputation declines after death and never regains its status again
【错误1】 平行结构:“who receives popular acclaim while living”和“whose reputation declines after death and never regains its status again”虽然两者表面上有很大差异,但本质上都是“composer”的定语从句,因此满足平行结构“语法功能一致,逻辑含义对等”的要求,两者本应是平行对象,但两者之间却并未加入“and”。
【错误2】 简洁明了:见(A)。
(C)but whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status
【正确】 “whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status”与“who receives popular acclaim while living”正确地用“but”平行在一起——两个从句表面上存在很大差异,但本质上都是修饰“the kind of composer”的定语从句,语法功能一致(都是修饰同一个人的定语从句),且逻辑含义对等(都对“the kind of composer”加以限定)。
【大意】 Joachim Raff和Giacomo Meyerbeer是那种生前广受赞誉,但名誉在死后迅速下降且再也恢复不到从前的地位的作曲家的典型。
(D)who declines in reputation after death and who never regained popularity again
【错误1】 动词时态:“receives”、“declines”和“regained”均在修饰“composer”的定语从句中,三个动作本质上没有明显时间先后顺序,因此第三个动词“regained”没有理由使用过去式。
【错误2】 简洁明了:见(A)。
(E)then has declined in reputation after death and never regained popularity
【错误】 平行结构:“never regained”本意上与“declined”用“and”平行在“has”的后面,形成了“has declined and never regained”的平行结构,然而“has declined and never regained”只是低层次上的平行,在更高层次中,“receives”和“has declined and never regained”之间也本应用“and”平行在一起,因此“then”之前本应有“and”。
【最优解题思路推荐】
(E)需要通过较为细致的句子结构分析,看出“平行套平行”的结构,才能根据平行结构的原理排除。
(A)、(B)、(D)中存在不可忽略的语义重复问题,排除。
因此选择(C)。
