explain

解释: 本句尽管用词抽象,但给读者带来直接威胁的还是句子的结构:句中由两个and连接起三部分内容,这在语法上似乎说不通,可实际上这两个and在句子中所处的层次其实是不同的:第一个and连接了discard的两个宾语,也可以看成是and后面省略了不定式to discard ,也就是说第一个and是在不定式中的并列;而第二个and则是谓语动词的并列,原文中相当于在and和to explore当中省略了谓语wished。这个and的层次要高于前面的第一个and。

读者读到established的时候容易犯两种错误,一是把and之后的established看成是与wished并列的谓语,二是把established看成是与discard并列的不定式。其实这两种理解在语法上都行不通:如果与wished并列,则后面要加不定式;如果与discard并列,它本身就必须是动词原型。

其实在阅读的现场,考生根本就没有时间去考虑其语法,上面所说的把established读错,还是因为读者很少见到established作形容词的用法及两个and居于不同层次的情况。
