For members of the seventeenth-century Ashanti nation in Africa, animal-hide shields with wooden frames were essential items of military equipment, a method to protect warriors against enemy arrows and spears. (A) a method to protect (B) as a method protecting (C) protecting (D) as a protection of (E) to protect 很容易就知道答案选C 但是OG关于E的解释说:Although the infi nitive to protect would work if it were not preceded by a comma, it cannot act as a nonrestrictive adjectival phrase modifying items. 这句话的意思是即使把横线前面的逗号去了,to protect也不正确吗?但是我觉得只要把逗号去了to protect读起来完全正确啊? 有谁能给解析下为什么错吗?
背景知识:1。不定式可以做定语。2。非限定定语的样式都是前面有个逗号:如,done(句末过去分词常坐非限定定语去修饰先行名词) ; 句中逗号+doing(句中可做非限定定语,句末往往做状语); 逗号+which(满大街都有的非限定定语从句。) 所谓非限定就是说补充作用,有点类似于同位语的作用。 如 He wants to have sex with his classmates, who are female and sexy. (这句话翻译过来就是他愿意和所有同学xx;他的这些同学无一例外都是女的,并且无一例外都很sexy。 限定性: He wants to have sex with his classmates who are female and sexy. ( 这句话翻译过来就是他只愿意他那些性感的女同学xx,其他同学面谈。
