求助prep-1,同位語的結構問題

3f6800

1. The Anasazi settlements at Chaco Canyon were built on a spectacular scale with more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each, were connected by a complex regional system of roads.

A. with more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each, were

B. with more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each,

C. of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms, each that had been

D. of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms and with each

E. of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms each had been

 

A: were谓语重复，应该去掉

B: correct，connected分词修饰句子主语settlements, b中of up to 600 rooms each作插入語,修飾structure建築物

C: 第二个of修饰Structures不对，应该修饰scale；each同位语从句用过去完成时没必要，

D: 第二个of修饰Structures不对，应该修饰scale；and with each没有平行对象，

E: 第二个of修饰Structures不对，应该修饰scale；each后面是完整句子但没有连词

c,d,e中of做修飾不對

b中of up to 600 rooms each是structures的同位語,那麼請問一下

為什麼 用 of up to...這結構可以說明一下嗎

為什麼插入語 用 of up to 600 rooms each 修飾structures,

而不用形容詞修飾structures, 這個結構可以說明一下嗎

我的看法和破解版的注释有点不一样：

A: 若第二个were做主句并列谓语，即出现重复，且两个谓语间没有连词连接；若were做each的谓语中间没有插入成份，were不应和each主语用逗号隔开；each紧跟rooms应为svo, each +doing/done/adj/prep/n（ets的preference）的独立主格结构，后面不应有were且更不应有逗号。

B: correct，在of短语前使用逗号避免直接跟在structures后修饰structures；each有副词代词等词性，此处做代词指代settlements，因为虽然逻辑上可以指代structures，但原文显然是指每个settlement规模达到某个程度的逻辑意思，为each＋介词短语的独立主格结构的倒置变形，变形的原因也是为了避免语法上作为structures的独立主格结构；根据connected分词后面的regional system of roads，确定connected只能修饰句子主语settlements

C: 第二个of修饰Structures不对，应该修饰scale；each同位语从句用过去完成时没必要，同位语从句中名词的数可与其修饰对象不一致，但时态如无明显根据应该对应主句。

D: 第二个of修饰Structures不对，应该修饰scale；and with each可以和scale后的of短语做介词短语做后置定语修饰scale功能平行，但each非名词无法和with构成介词短语。

E: 第二个of修饰Structures不对，应该修饰scale；each后面是完整句子但没有连词

 

 

 CDE的解释为原注释版的解释。

注意：

1、The Anasazi settlements at Chaco Canyon were built on a spectacular scale of up to 600 rooms each, connected by a complex regional system of roads. each指The Anasazi settlements，而不是rooms或者structures！

原句改写为：Connected by a complex regional system of roads，the Anasazi settlements at Chaco Canyon，each of up to 600 rooms，were built on a spectacular scale with more than 75 carefully engineered structures.就最清晰了。

2、介词的修饰对象、插入语、逗号+过去分词的用途及修饰对象：of up to 600 rooms each前加逗号，排除直接修饰structures的可能，因而也使each顺理成章地修饰structures之前唯一的复数名词settlements，逻辑意思更加合理。

each指代settlements没错

of up to 600 rooms each,意思是在每个settlement最多600 rooms 当中,修饰 more than 75 carefully engineered structures
