在前有“核心词+介词、分词等修饰结构”或者插入语的情况下，which跳跃修饰前面的核心词，不能修饰紧邻的名词。 下面是几个例子： From the bark of the paper birch tree the Menomini crafted a canoe about twenty feet long and two feet wide, with small ribs and rails of cedar, which could carry four persons or eight hundred pounds of baggage yet was so light that a person could easily portage it around impeding rapids 这句话的which离其所应该修饰的核心词canoe很远，中间隔了一个插入语，还隔了个介词结构about…，但只要知道核心词是canoe就能一目了然找到which应该指的是什么。这里不能修饰紧邻的名词cedar。
今天又看到一个题让我觉得有些困惑 OG-SC-121 Sales of wines declined in the late 1980s, but they began to grow again after the 1991 report that linked moderate consumption of alcohol, and particularly of red wine, with a reduced risk of heart disease
C. in a 1991 report , moderate alcohol consumption , and particularly of red wine, which was linked with a reduced risk of heart disease, caused them to begin to grow again C是错误答案。OG解释为which错误的修饰了red wine。 在本题中which跳跃插入语修饰失败了？还是有别的原因导致错误？ 望NN赐教！作者: 狂威雪 时间: 2011-7-26 23:05
原题中with a reduced risk of heart disease 伴随修饰的是moderate consumption of alcohol,and particular of red wine, 此题中which前面没有介词短语也没有插入语。 直接修饰的red wine。of red wine看似是介词短语，其实不是，它前面有个and，主语是moderate consumption of alcohol and of red wine(省略了particularly,此处影响分析)作者: bitieming 时间: 2011-7-27 08:24
我好像明白了！which指代的应该是consumption吧？and particular of red wine这个部分由于and的存在所以并不是插入语而是跟前面对consumption修饰成分的并列，谢谢！~
