(C) will typically devastate 100 times the area in the eastern LACE w:st="on">United StatesLACE> than one of comparable magnitude occurring in the West

(D) in the eastern LACE w:st="on">United StatesLACE> will typically devastate an area 100 times greater than will a quake of comparable magnitude occurring in the West (D)

OG199的确与紫草JJ所说的不一样,是awkwardly set between the subject and verb of the sentence的反例

我也是在OG里面看见好几个反例,才再一度看这个帖子

这种帖子要留名的。楼上斑主提出的反例我想可以这么描述。就意思而言，og199描述的是两个地震。一个东边一个西边。所谓介词短语前置，一般是作壮语修饰整句。但是og199写的是两个比较，因此这个介词短语是修饰第一个地震的定语，需要紧跟修饰词。斑竹觉得有道理么

修饰主语的介词结构应该提到句首, 不能插在主谓之间. 除非这个介词结构被封闭在从句或者同位语里面, 但绝对不能是单单的一个介词结构插在主谓之间.

我这么考虑,是否版主提到的这个错误是effective的.所以来说最后的判断还要依靠文章的逻辑走向.比较浅薄了.

感谢大家啊,让我了解了这么多细节的问题....
