以下句子来自学生习作。题目要求:根据所读文章Occam's Razor”写出概要、或感想。(原文摘抄,有少许不恰当的,不影响理解,未作改动)

For instancewhen explaining other peoples behavior, such as a friend not responding to your message in a timely manner, one complex theory is that the friend may be ignoring you on purpose, or discussing bad things about you with others and not wanting to respond. Another simple explanation could be that your friend was too busy to read the message at the time. Following Occams Razor, choosing for simpler explanation will allow you to avoid being overly concerned and maintain good relationships.

译文:例如,在解释其他人的行为时,比如朋友没有及时回复你的信息,一种复杂的理论是,朋友可能故意不理你,或者和别人讨论你的坏话而不想回复。另一种简单的解释可能是你的朋友当时太忙,没有时间阅读信息。根据奥卡姆剃刀理论,选择更简单的解释可以让你避免过分担心,保持良好的人际关系。

好的文章,不论按什么标准看,都是好的。但“好”在哪里呢?按照SAT的标准(参考文后附表),从语言本身看,这句话至少满足了两点要求

上面这个句子中出现的例子——

并列结构:

省略共同的may be + ignoring... or discussing... and not wanting...

连词 +分词:

when explaining other peoples behavior

when explaining =when one complex theory explains...)

动名词词组:

1choosing for simpler explanation will ...

2to avoid being overly concerned

3such as a friend not responding to your message in a timely manner

1:动名词主语=That one chooses...;

2:动词avoid + 动名词;being concerned可视为being+形容词、或concern的动名词被动式

3:介词such as +动名词;not responding是动名词的否定式

名词性从句:

1is that the friend may be ignoring you on purpose, or discussing bad things about you with others and not wanting to respond

2could be that your friend was too busy to read the message at the time

两个名词从句分别是iscould be的表语。

不定式词组:

1was too busy to read the message at the time

2allow you to avoid being overly concerned and maintain good relationships

分词词组:

Following Occams Razor, , choosing for simpler explanation will

分词词组following Occams Razor做句子的状语。这里following也被认为是介词(同样的如Considering...Speaking of...Given... )。
