og 27 大家一起讨论一下吧

27. Published in Harlem, the owner and editor of the Messenger were two young journalists. Chandler Owen j and A. Philip Randolph, who would later make his reputation as a labor leader.

(A) Published in Harlem, the owner and editor of the Messenger were two young journalists. Chandler Owen and A. Philip Randolph, who would later make his reputation as a labor leader.

(B) Published in Harlem, two young journalists, Chandler Owen and A. Philip Randolph, who would later make his reputation as a labor leader, were the owner and editor of the Messenger.

(C)Published in Harlem, the Messenger was owned and edited by two young journalists, A. Philip Randolph, who would later make his reputation as a labor leader, and Chandler Owen.

(D) The Messenger was owned and edited by two young journalists. Chandler Owen and A. Philip Randolph, who would later make his reputation as a labor leader, and published in Harlem.

(E)  The owner and editor being two young journalists, Chandler Owen and A. Philip Randolph, who would later make his reputation as a labor leader, the Messenger was published in Harlem.

In E, being produces an awkward construction, and the placement of the main clause at the end of the sen­tence is confusing.

请问being的用法,这里感觉有点像独立主格,being produces an awkward construction,这是什么意思?and the placement of the main clause at the end of the sen­tence is confusing. 是不是说把句子的中心改变了?

请NN们解答!谢了!

being produces an awkward construction意思是这个结构比较笨拙，也就是不好。

and the placement of the main clause at the end of the sen­tence is confusing是指使句子结构混乱

还是不明白，为什么being在这里是awkward的呢？ 何时不是呢？

还有就是主句一定要在最前面吗？ 好像有很多句子都是从句在前，主句在最后的哦？如何判断何时主句在最后会confusing呢？

请NN指导

being大多是错的, 但有例外, 比如介词后面的 being, OG183 from being stolen

主句在前还是从句在前并不是主要的, 关键看句子的重心是否改变, 还有时间发生的先后.

这个是指先发生的事情先说吗？

这里awkward是什么意思？？

如果把being去掉，就是n.+n.的结构，请问这种结构对不对？？经常见的是with n.+n.，对这种不太熟悉，哪位NN给讲一下，谢谢

首先声明我不是NN哦~对于这里BEING的语法作用我也将不太清楚，不过我做这道题的时候，读完整个句子觉得头重脚轻~主句就是后面这highligt的小小一句，前面一大段感觉太累赘。我感觉美国人比较喜欢头轻脚重的表达方式，经常都会把太长的修饰成分或者从句后置。所以一看完这个句子我就觉得它肯定不对~

不好意思回答的乱七八糟，一点也不专业!希望对楼主能有帮助~~

谢谢番茄！！

能不能讲一下我的问题呢？？就是n.+n.结构，有没有这种用法？？

awkward这里是不通顺，晦涩的意思，或者说别扭；

n+n结构是什么样的？能否举个例子？这个句子当中去掉being是不正确的，因为独立主格也得有谓语啊。你说的with n+n是不是这样的：with tools in hands, workers went out to the stone quarry. 如果是的话，这是伴随状语。

我不是nn，说得不好见笑了
