| 单词 | 重写 |
| 释义 | 〔either〕When the construction mixes singular and plural elements, however,there is some confusion as to which form the verb should take.It has sometimes been suggested that the verb should agree with whichever noun phrase is closest to it;thus one would writeEither Eve or the Kays have been invited, butEither the Kays or Eve has been invited. This pattern is accepted by 54 percent of the Usage Panel.Others have maintained that the construction is fundamentally inconsistent whichever number is assigned to the verband that such sentences should be rewritten accordingly.As Wilson Follett put it:然而，当结构中既有单数又有复数成分的时候，动词应采取什么形式说法不定。人们有时建议动词的人称和数应与离得最近的名词短语呼应；因此人们说Either Eve or the Kays have been invited ， 而不是Either the Kays or Eve has been invited 。 这种格式被用法使用小组54的成员所接受。也有人认为不管动词用什么样的数， 这个结构本质上都是一致的，因此这样的句子应重写。象威尔逊·伏莱特所说的：〔rewrite〕To write again, especially in a different or improved form; revise.重写，改写：重写，尤指以不同的或改进的形式；修订〔prospectus〕She rewrote the prospectus of her dissertation three times before it was approved.她三次重写她的学位论文的提纲才被通过〔rewrite〕Something rewritten.重写的某些东西〔rescript〕Something that has been rewritten.重写本：被重写的东西〔rescript〕The act of rewriting.重写：重写的行为〔dumb〕To rewrite for a less intelligent audience.为理解力较弱的观众重写〔rewrite〕The act or an instance of rewriting.重写的行为或实例 |
