请教白勇语法第二章47题

47.Intar,the oldest Hispanix theater company in New York,has moved away from the Spanish classics and now it draws on the works both of contenporary Hispanic authors who live abroad and of those in the United States.

(A)now it draws on the works  both of contenporary Hispanic authors who live abroad and of those

(B)now  draws on the works of  contenporary Hispanic authors ,both those who live abroad and those who live

(C)it draws on the works  of contenporary Hispanic authors now, both those living abroad and who live

(D ) draws  now on the works both of contenporary Hispanic authors living abroad and who are

(E)draws on the works now  of  both contenporary Hispanic authors living  abroad and  those

正确答案是B

我的问题是白勇对E选项的解释

E,一种可能,both可以作为定语修饰author, 由and连接两个名词短语;另一种可能,both与and构成搭配,所以both的作用引起争议.

答案能选出来,不过E的解释我很是不明白

both authors and those我猜有可能有两种理解

1.正常理解，即两种作者都。。。

2.both和and无关，理解为“both作者，即两个作者”and“在美国的作者”

明白明白,现在知道他在说什么了.谢谢啊!!
