Re: [問題] 楊鵬難句30
※ 引述《gxdrsl ( )》之銘言:
: 原句:
: Since large bees are not affected by the spraying of Matacil,
: these results add weight to the argument that spraying
: where the pollinators are sensitive to the pesticide used
: decreases plant fecundity.
: 我理解的中文意思是:
: 大蜜蜂不會受到Matacil這種農藥噴灑的影響,
: 這樣的結果給了以下論點加強了力度,
: 在授粉昆蟲的對已噴灑農藥的敏感地方會減少植物的肥沃程度
: 問題:
: 可是這樣解釋自己又覺得矛盾,既然大蜜蜂不被農藥影響,
: 為何又會減少植物的肥沃程度呢?
: 求解,謝謝大家
我是謝忠理。針對原 po 問題我提出兩點說明。
一、原 po (gxdrsl) 問題的答案:
------------------------------------------------------------
我手上沒有楊鵬難句的原書,下面的內容是從網路上找到的。
gxdrsl 所提出的句子是一篇三段式閱讀測驗中,第二段的最後一句
,下面是整個第二段:
In the forests of New Brunswick, for example, various
pesticides have been sprayed in the past 25 years in
efforts to control the spruce budworm, an economically
significant pest. Scientists have now investigated the
effects of the spraying of Matacil, one of the anti-budworm
agents that is least toxic to insect-pollinators. They
studied Matacil's effects on insect mortality in a wide
variety of wild insect species and on plant fecundity,
expressed as the percentage of the total flowers on an
individual plant that actually developed fruit and bore
seeds. They found that the most pronounced mortality after
the spraying of Matacil occurred among the smaller bees and
one family of flies, insects that were all important
pollinators of numerous species of plants growing beneath the
tree canopy of forests. The fecundity of plants in one common
indigenous species, the red-osier dogwood, was
significantly reduced in the sprayed areas as compared to
that of plants in control plots where Matacil was not
sprayed. This species is highly dependent on the insect-
pollinators most vulnerable to Matacil. The creeping dogwood,
a species similar to the red-osier dogwood, but which is
pollinated by large bees, such as bumblebees, showed no
significant decline in fecundity. Since large bees are not
affected by the spraying of Matacil, these results add weight
to the argument that spraying where the pollinators are
sensitive to the pesticide used decreases plant fecundity.
我想大家看完整段之後,應該沒有什麼意思上理解的問題了吧!
二、閱讀文章時的注意事項 (我看到這個問題時的反應)
------------------------------------------------------------
gxdrsl 所提的原文是
Since large bees are not affected by the spraying of
Matacil, these results add weight to the argument that
spraying where the pollinators are sensitive to the
pesticide used decreases plant fecundity.
我看了一遍,就想不通為什麼後半主要子句的主詞是 these results
?明明 Since 就只講到 large bees 不受 Matacil 的影響,那麼後
半句主詞應該是 the result 或 this result。為什麼會原文會寫
these results?我想到的是,這句話前面還有其他的 results 所以
才會變成 these。因此打開 google 一查,果然找到前面的文字,因
此就解決了gxdrsl所提的問題。
結論:
------------------------------------------------------------
指示形容詞 (this, that, these, those)、定冠詞 (the)、名詞的單
複數,都有可能會成為我們理解或解題的關鍵。
最後,切記,魔鬼就在細節裡。
