From the passage we know that many archaeologists think that the financial support for research is not enough and the money is usually given by the government.
每当我遇见这样的句子,真的想把 and 从英语字典中消灭!
Eradicate “and” from English!
(eradicate: destroy completely, 彻底毁灭)
确实,
从语法的角度来看这个句子 100 分。
写作是思考的载体。
我们写作,不能只追求语法完美。
正如生活,不能只追求解决温饱。
(鸡汤来袭,大家快躲开!)
原句重点在于这个并列句:the financial support for research is not enough and the money is usually given by the government.
没错,句子的重点应该落在 underfunding, 而 money coming from the government 主要在修饰前面的 “financial support” — “money” 和 “financial support” 是一回事。
也就是说,
“financial support for research is not enough” 和 “the money is usually given by the government” — 资金不够和资金主要来自政府 — “资金来自政府” 是在修饰 “资金不够” — 两者并不是并列关系!
不是并列关系却选用并列句式,那叫滥用 and!
(心疼 and 一分钟)
把第二个信息作为插入语,例如:
—> From the passage we know that many archaeologists think that the financial support for research, which is usually given by the government, is not enough.
—> From the passage we know that many archaeologists think that the financial support for research, which mainly comes from the government, falls short of supporting many archaeologists.
