新语法笔记 由152. (OG10-245) (OG11-95)引申出来的知识点:
4. 关于misplaced modifier, dangling modifier, squinting modifier的区别:
Traceback: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/modifiers.htm
(1)MISPLACED MODIFIER: Some modifiers, especially simple modifiers — only, just, nearly, barely — have a bad habit of slipping into the wrong place in a sentence. (In the sentence below, what does it mean to "barely kick" something?)
Confusion: He barely kicked that ball twenty yards.
Repair Work: He kicked that ball barely twenty yards.
第一句: barely(adv.)修饰 kicked (v.)
第二句:barely修饰 twenty吧
twenty在longman中查到的是数词:
the number 20:
a small village twenty miles from Nairobi I'm nearly twenty (=20 years old).
这么说副词可以修饰数词??还是我理解错了?
理解不透,恳求大家的帮助。
