OG 13 SC 47
In 1713, Someone began his translation of the Lliad, a work that took him sever years to complete, and that literary critic Samuel Johnson, Pope's contemporary pronounced the greatest translation in any language.

这里 a work修饰his translation

为什么 a work修饰的不是Lliad? 虽然修饰translation　ｍａｋｅ　ｓｅｎｓｅ．

谢谢大虾们

我觉得同位语修饰 之前的哪个词完全取决于这个同位语它是什么样的词， 就像你说的make sense，第一句里同位语是作者，那当然修饰的是人， 第二句同位语是一个工作，它修饰的一定是一个工作（translation）， 而不是一本书。
