1/3 TPS Spot the Error Contest－Answer and Explanation 你是挑錯的高手嗎? 正確解答
Answer: “to give” should be “giving.”
“The ecological system in the park is largely in balance, giving more strength to the proposition that human intrusion inhibits natural diversity.”
Error: The writer of this sentence got off track in the course of tacking on a second phrase. Parallel construction in grammar requires that individual sentence components stay in sync; when in doubt, a safer choice is to break a sentence with two thoughts into two sentences. In this case, the writer uses “to give” when the correct word choice is “giving.” Or the writer might have written a second sentence beginning, “The park’s balance gives…” This writing mistake is No. 10 of 10 Common Writing Errors That Can Spell “Rejection” for Your Manuscript, which are posted elsewhere on The Published Scholar site.
錯誤之處：這句話的作者在第一句與第二句的接軌上沒有使用正確的用詞。文法中的平行結構必須是一個獨立句子中保持句構的同步與平行規範，最安全的方式，是將一個句子分開成為兩個獨立想法的句子。因此這次的題目，正確答案應使用"giving" ，而不是 “to give。另一個寫法是，作者可為第二句重新起頭，如 “The park’s balance gives…”。這樣的寫作錯誤可參照本專頁所張貼之「10 個導致退稿的常見寫作錯誤之十：“Avoid Faulty Parallelism”」。
