请问the number是作twelve的同位语吗？另外，be known to和be known as各是什么意思？如何去用？

我觉得twelve和number不是同位语， 原句应该按正常语序为： doubling the number of ...to twelve. 以本题为例， 我理解的known to do和known as的用法是： B选项中satellites known to orbit...中的known to do是过去分词做定语修饰名词satellites, D选项中若要用satellites known as orbiting, 不正确， 因为A known as B 的意思是“A被认为是B”， A和B必须在词性上有一致性。 即"一个东东可以被认为是另一个东东"。 这里名词satellites和动名词orbiting不能对应。作者: excellent 时间: 2004-1-20 19:07
谢谢您的解答！请问be known to do是何含义？作者: rabbitbug 时间: 2004-1-20 19:24
呵呵， be known to do不是什么特殊的用法， 就跟一般的不定式to do一样的翻译方法。 satellites now known to orbit the distant planet->现在已经知道的绕那颗遥远的行星运行的人造卫星。
