each独立主格不是应该紧跟在修饰复数名词后吗?这里修饰对象是句子主语,如何理解?
Ron: 'each' CAN do that... but it can also describe something else in the preceding part. as you can see, it's quite flexible.
so, as long as both of the following are true...
1/ the meaning of 'each' is obvious (from common sense + context)
2/ the sentence is actually talking about something that's true for each X separately (i.e., NOT something that they do together, or that's only true of them as a group)
...then 'each' is fine.
