[求助]急问：GWD11－41，看了讨论仍有疑问

GWD11－41：

Some scientists contend that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like a warm-blooded mammal’s than a cold-blooded reptile’s.

A.      that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like

B.       that the metabolism of many dinosaur species were more like

C.      that the metabolisms of many species of dinosaurs were more like those of

D.      there were many species of dinosaurs that had metabolisms more like those of

E.       there were many dinosaur species that had a metabolism more like that of

看了讨论，但我有一个新的问题...

many species of dinosaur是不是很多恐龙的种类？那核心词就是“种类”了对吧？怎么能说“种类有metabolism“呢？？应该是dinosaur才有metabolism啊...

所以感觉一个都不对...

"很多种恐龙都有新陈代谢系统",这没错啊.

就是说many species of只是一个数量词？species并不是中心词？

我好像有点晕，把many species of dinosaur理解为许多恐龙的种类，那就是species是中心词。。。

species是种类的意思,不是量词.

恐龙中的很多种类都有新陈代谢系统.

没有问题.

但怎么能说“种类”有“新陈代谢”呢？。。。

中心词是恐龙，many species是修饰它的。
