  指代不清(Ambiguous Reference of Pronouns)
  指代不清主要讲的是代词与被指代的人或物关系不清,或者先后所用的代词不一致。试看下面这一句:

  Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted her to be her bridesmaid.
  玛丽和我姐姐很要好,因为她要她做她的伴娘。

  读完上面这一句话,读者无法明确地判断两位姑娘中谁将结婚,谁将当伴娘。如果我们在托福写作中把易于引起误解的代词的所指对象加以明确,意思就一目了然了。这个句子可改为:Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted my sister to be her bridesmaid。

  例1. And we can also know the society by serving it yourself.
  剖析:句中人称代词we 和反身代词yourself指代不一致。
  改为:We can also know society by serving it ourselves.
