问题 The Federal Reserve Board’s reduction of interest rate on loans to financial institutions is both an acknowledgement of past economic trends and an effort to influence their future direction.

选项 A、reduction of interest rates on loans to financial institutions is both an acknowledgement of past economic trends and an effort
B、reduction of interest rates on loans to financial institutions is an acknowledgement both of past economic trends as well as an effort
C、reduction of interest rates on loans to financial institutions both acknowledge past economic trends and attempt
D、reducing interest rates on loans to financial institutions is an acknowledgement both of past economic trends and an effort
E、reducing interest rates on loans to financial institutions both acknowledge past economic trends as well as attempt

答案A

解析 根据both…and的并列搭配要求,B、E的both…as well as是错误的。在D中,both之后是of介词短语而and之后是一个名词,同样违背了对等原则。仔细比较A、C,它们唯一的差异是A用both…and连接名词短语作表语结构;而C用both…and连接动宾结构,替换了A的系表结构。根据第一章所讨论的名词词组的中心词原则,A简化为:利率的降低表明了一种承认和一种努力。而C则为:利率的降低不仅承认过去的形势,同时又努力影响将来的方向。对于中国学生来讲,似乎两者读起来都很别扭,但至少可以判定C的搭配是有明显问题的,因为主语reduction与动词acknowledge和attempt显然不能搭配的。如果C中的主语是The FederalReserve就可以了,而A的系表搭配是可以接受的。因此,我们可以坚决排除C而选A。
