以下是引用祈晴坊主在2003-10-8 20:18:00的发言: 一直很弄不清的一个语法点
附上八月JJ 29. 1) the discovery of one feet and four teeth in nk, representing four species of animals like cats, indicates that the animal survives … 2) the discovery of one feet and four teeth in nk, which represents four species of animals like cats, indicates that the animal survives … 3) the discovery in nk of one feet and four teeth, representing four species of animals like cats, indicates that the animal survives …
the discovery of one feet and four teeth in nk, representing four species of animals [名词短语,分词短语] 分词短语做插入成分,应该修饰前面名词短语的主干,也就是discovery,这个时候要考虑分词短语和后面的成分有没有修饰关系会不会混淆,比如:[名词短语,分词短语,名词短语],这种情况就是修饰不清
the discovery of one feet and four teeth in nk representing four species of animals [名词短语+分词短语]:分词短语应该修饰离他最近的一个名词或者名词短语,在这道题目中,representing理论中应该修饰nk或者teeth(nk应该优于teeth,但是teeth不是完全没有可能),这个时候要看其他的东西来排除了
the discovery of one feet and four teeth in nk, which represent four species of animals which应该修饰离他最近的名词或者名词短语,在这道题目中,which represent理论中应该修饰nk或者teeth(nk应该优于teeth,但是teeth不是完全没有可能),这个时候要看其他的东西来排除了
修饰中,逗号的用法是很有讲究的。
