1.
the agency reponsible for investigating traffic accidents is less concerned with the location of crashes than whether they were caused by mechanical or human error.
答案说whether they were caused 错了,我想请问错是错在不能比,还是时态?
1.the agency reponsible for investigating traffic accidents
1、结构分析
主语:The agency responsible for investigating traffic accidents
谓语主要部分:is less concerned with the location of crashes (被动语态)
比较状语从句:than whether they were caused by mechanical or human error.(than + 宾语从句)
2、由上分析可知——
concerned with the location of crashes 是被动语态中的主要动词的过去分词短语
whether they were caused by mechanical or human error是名词从句
3、句中用了比较结构 less … than,连词 than 前后应该是两个平行结构的比较对象,但是这里却是一种行为(关注坠毁地区的行为)与事实(是否是由机械故障或人为过失造成的事实)的比较,可见二者不是比较的同类项.应该改为——
The agency responsible for investigating traffic accidents is less concerned with the location of crashes than [the cause] by mechanical or human error.
这样,两个比较对象 the location of crashes 和 the cause by mechanical or human error 都是名词短语,简单地说就是地区和原因的比较,它们都用作 concerned with 的宾语.
参考译文:比起关心由机械故障或人为过失引起的原因来,负责调查交通事故的机构基本不关心坠毁的地区.
