og210没看懂大家的解释

晴天小狗

210.       Scientists have recently discovered what could be the largest and oldest living organism on Earth, a giant fungus that is an interwoven filigree of mushrooms and rootlike tentacles spawned by a single fertilized spore some 10,000 years ago and extending for more than 30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest.

(A) extending

(B) extends

(C) extended

(D) it extended（A）

(E) is extending

为什么C不行啊，没看懂！为什么说他们修饰filigree而不是就近修饰tentacles

能翻译一下子么？ 我看了以前的讨论，还是不明白 忍

tks，看看nnm

是否看过讨论连接？

问题就是看了之后还是糊涂啊

chnp

spawned表被动，后面有agent： by a single fertilized spore

extending表主动，后面有介词短语for more than 30 acres，表明如何extending，如果用被动后面这个介词短语显得很莫名其妙。

两个都是分词可以并列。

我也想问问,

       Scientists have recently discovered what could be the largest and oldest living organism on Earth, a giant fungus that is an interwoven filigree of mushrooms and rootlike tentacles spawned by a single fertilized spore some 10,000 years ago and extending for more than 30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest.

(A) extending

(B) extends

(C) extended

(D) it extended（A）
                

(E) is extending

第一个AND是什么和什么平行,如果是MUSHIROON 和TENTACLES平行的话,那就比较好理解SPAWNED 和FERTILIZE是修饰FILEGRESS,但是为什么不能理解成filigree of mushrooms和rootlike tentacles 平行呢?这样的话不就修饰TENTACLES了吗?

UP一下~~~~~~~~~

我还是不明白 晕 再想！

a giant fungus that is an interwoven filigree of mushrooms and rootlike tentacles spawned by a single fertilized spore some 10,000 years ago

a giant fungus that is an interwoven filigree of mushrooms and rootlike tentacles extending for more than 30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest.

我对语法的术语不会讲。把句子扯开看就明白了。因为不能有动词，所以was spawned用spawned， extended用extending。
把整个句子的结构看明白了就很好理解了。

以下是引用caterpillarcn在2006-9-1 15:26:00的发言：

a giant fungus that is an interwoven filigree of mushrooms and rootlike tentacles spawned by a single fertilized spore some 10,000 years ago

a giant fungus that is an interwoven filigree of mushrooms and rootlike tentacles extending for more than 30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest.

我对语法的术语不会讲。把句子扯开看就明白了。因为不能有动词，所以was spawned用spawned， extended用extending。
把整个句子的结构看明白了就很好理解了。

这样看起来明白了一点，实际上还是说他们一个有被动的意思，一个有主动的意思

2个分词的并列。就怕考试的时候图快，直接就按照基本的平行概念做了〉。。

谢谢chnp 和caterpillarcn
