To such thermometers are attributed the accuracy of much of the work done in low-temperature physics since 1951.
主语是the accuracy of much of the work done, 这里为什么谓语用are ? 能否举一些例子说明,谢谢!
To such thermometers are attributed the accuracy of much of the work done in low-temperature physics since 1951.
这是一个完全倒装句,恢复正常语序则为:
The accuracy of much of the work done in low-temperature physics since 1951 is attributed to such thermometers.
为了避免句子头重脚轻,介词短语to such thermometers前置于句首,主语后移到句末。但说话人在说到is attributed这个谓语动词时,潜意识中受了复数名词thermometers的影响,而用了复数谓语are。这种情况属于口语中的失误,但由于这种失误发生的几率并非罕见,于是语法学家为其正名,称其为所谓“就近原则”(其实是语法错误)。如果作者是写文章,而不是说话,这个are就会改为is的。所以你会在语法书上看到: 主谓一致的就近原则只要见于非正式语体;语法原则用于正式语体。
结论:这个句子中的are是口语中的失误,应该改为 is !!!!!!!!
