我刚又看了一下,只是如果这样的话,A is B on C,which 难道就没有修饰B的可能了吗?
我对此持怀疑态度 ...
终于到正题上了,呵呵
我讨论的就是你说的这个A IS B ON C, WHICH为什么不能修饰B,但是你看OG的解释,它说明了为什么这个which更可能修饰earth:“The referent of which is unclear. Grammatically, its antecedent cannot be the landlocked Caspian, so it must be either Earth or the largest lake on Earth. The latter is a little odd, because the sentence has already said that the lake in question is the Caspian, so one would expect and instead of which. For these reasons and because Earth immediately precedes which, the sentence appears to say, illogically, that Earth covers more than four times the surface area of Lake Superior.”
看到了吧,OE的意思是当A IS B ON C, WHICH does的时候,如果认为which修饰整个B ON C比较odd,因为前面已经说过A IS B了,所以这里再用which就没有必要了,OG给出了如果要这么写应该用and 也就是A IS B ON C AND DOES。我是在这个基础上做的推断,另外还有就是我之前举得另一个例子:As an actress and, more importantly, as a teacher of acting, Stella Adler was one of the most influential artists in the American theater, who trained several generations of actors including Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro.
这里的who,OG认为它修饰了theater,我贴一下OE:A Relative (who) clause follows theater rather than Adler;但是我们都知道应该修饰artists更加合理,而这里也是A IS B OF C, WHO/which的形式,这就是为什么我会得出:当我们遇到A IS B ON/C, WHO/WHICH的时候,who和which会修饰到C从而引发错误的原因了,当然这只是我的推断而已。
你看看这里遗漏什么吗?也许我有没注意到的,继续讨论啊 |
