Grammarians have for years condemned as ungrammati-cal the English phrase "between you and I, " insisting that the correct phrasing is "between you and me," with the objective case after a preposition. Such condemnations, however, are obviously unfounded, because Shakespeare himself, in The Merchant of Venice, wrote, "All debts are cleared between you and I. " Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above?
选项
A、In his plays, Shakespeare intentionally had some of his characters use phrases he considered ungrammatical.
B、The phrase "between you and I" appears infrequently in Shakespeare’s writings.
C、The more modern an English word or phrase, the less likely that modern grammarians will consider it acceptable for formal usage.
D、Many modern speakers of English sometimes say "between you and I" and sometimes say "between you and me. "
E、Most native speakers of English who choose to say "between you and I" do so because they know that Shakespeare used that phrase.
答案
A
解析
本题读题重点应放在最后一句话上。若because—clause放在一个句子的后半部分时,反对大多要反对原因。若莎士比亚有意使用他认为不合语法的短语,如(A)所说,那么也就质疑了上面段落里的because—clause的有效性,所以(A)是正确答案。(B)的“infrequently”不能削弱原因,(C)、(D)、(E)均与推理无关。
