(D) because of moisture that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity within them to levels so high as to make the salt from the stone crystallize
先看raising那一串。V-ing前面如果没有逗号,那它就是形容词作定语,就近修饰前方的紧邻名词tourists。那后面的them就也是指代tourists的了。整个句子的层次应该是【because of mositure】,然后【that was exhaled by tourists】是定语从句修饰mositure,再然后【raising那一串修饰tourists】。但是,这个层次是从语义或者说逻辑角度看其实是错误的。。
(E) because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised the humidity within them to such levels that salt from the stone was crystallizing
exhaled在这里不是动词,是V-ed在做形容词,是后置定语。也就是说句子逻辑是【because moisture had raised the .....】 而是什么样的mositure呢?作者给了一个【V-ed的形容词来修饰】,是【tourists呼出的moisture】 -- by 会员 superbat28 (2011/10/13 11:13:12)
啊,虽然because of...doing是一个错误的用法,我们暂且还是把它看做一个固定用法,这里出现的that是moisture的定语从句,而moisture自己啊,,tourists,them啊都是becasue of doing这个“固定用法”中的成分,跟C是不一样的情况。 另外我真的不确定我之前这种解释对不对……再解释没准就该走上邪道了……
