陈圣元填空 p.36 section 7, #2
2.Sponsors of the bill were ______ because there
was no opposition to it within the legislature
until after the measure had been signed into law.
(A) unreliable
(B) well-intentioned
(C) persistent
(D) relieved
(E) detained
正确答案:D
中文释义:这个议案的提案人心情放松下来了,
因为一直到这个提案被签署生效为法律之前都没有任何反对。
我对答案没有什麽疑问,而是本句时态方面有点疑惑
不太懂解题分析的意思,希望能请教板友:
2.Sponsors of the bill were ______ because there
was no opposition to it within the legislature
until after the measure had been signed into law.
解题分析说这边的until,不是not...until...的用法,
因为not...until...的until後面要跟明确的时间,
而且这样意思会变成议案通过之後有很多人反对它;
本句的until应该是单独用法,表示before的意思。
可是如果将本句的until解释为before,
不就是把before after并列吗怎麽有点矛盾??@@
另外还有一个问题:
2.Sponsors of the bill
were ______ because there
was no opposition to it within the legislature
until after the measure
had been signed into law.
中文释义:这个议案的提案人心情放松下来了,
因为一直到这个提案被签署生效为法律之前都没有任何反对。
比较三个动词时态,我在字面上理解成:
直到议案生效为法律之後,立院机关内都没有反对意见,所以提案人感到心情放松。
所以到底时态的先後顺序应该怎麽解释呢?
以上两个问题希望能再请教板友,感谢大家>"<
