标题: 请问这个属于什么句型结构?
In 1995 Richard Stallman, a well-known critic of the patent system, testified in Patent Office hearings that, to test the system, a colleague of his had managed to win a patent for one of Kirchhoff’s laws, an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and now included in virtually every textbook of elementary physics.

请问这个an observation是用来解释前面的patent的对吧? 以我初浅的语法知识感觉,这是属于同位语吗? 我这个an observation有点突兀,如果不通过语意理解,很难知道它到底是只得什么,以及“an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and now included in virtually every textbook of elementary physics”这整个句子出现的作用到底是来干嘛的。


有哪位语法牛牛能给小弟解释解释? 万分感谢!

an observation....是用来解释/形容one of Kirchhoff's laws的。

这句话的背景应该是RS在试图改变专利申请系统,他在听证会上举例说他的一个同事,在如今的申请系统下,甚至可以申请到对KIRCHHOFF LAW的专利权。对KIRCHHOFF不了解的人,肯定会问这个例子能说明如今的申请系统有什么问题呢?后面an observation对KIRCHHOFF LAW的描述,就是在解释说KIRCHHOFF LAW是啥,并且说明这个LAW已经存在很久(已经涵盖在所有物理教科书中),以此来表达他同事能申请下对它的专利权的可笑之处,进而说明当下专利申请系统的缺陷。

谢谢你!你分析得很透彻,所以说这个可以当作是Kirchhoff's law的同位语咯?

这属于啥句型结构啊,一个逗号隔开之后,后面跟一个句子。

不是一个逗号后面跟一个句子,而是“逗号+abstract noun+clause"

一个词可以作同位语,一个词+that引导来解释这个抽象名词的从句,整体还是可以作为同位语, 来概况前句要表述的概念

回来再把这道题给详细总结一下,供以后的同学参考。

Stallman testified in Patent hearings that a colleague of his had managed to win a patent for one of Kirchhoff’s laws, an observation about electric current and now included in every textbook.

将这句话提炼一下,就会发现前面的Stallman testified in Patent hearings,是个完整的主谓结构+地点状语;然后后面的that引导一个从句,修饰这个hearings。an observation出现在一个句子后面,肯定是做同位语了。但同位语有两种:一种就是普通的同位语,修饰前方名词,另一种是一个抽象名词,修饰前面整个句子(类似于独立主格结构)。Kim jong un met Donald Trump at Singapore yesterday, an event attracted so many eyes. 这里根据语义判断,属于第一种。

另外,做语法题一定要根据语义做判断,3楼的那位好朋友理解的很到位,向他学习。
