1. “现在分词作定语表示长期,反复的动作,表示该动作是名词永久属性” Color 不会就mark 一次吧,好像已经mark很多年的说 而且 Kaplan said “seen” is more precise than “be able to seen” Similarly, “marking” is more precise than “that…”
2. 如楼上ricee 所说 In A, the comma “,” is very 突兀. 因为 “like the ring” 就近修饰mark, “with different color (that …tree trunk)” is a simple prep structure. 看到有人把这个结构解释成 with color () like .., like 跳跃修饰 color 不合惯例。
Ppl have seen layers of sediment xxx, with different colors (that mark the passage of time like the rings in a tree) Ppl have been able to see layers of sediment xxx, with different colors marking (the passage of time) like the rings in a tree.
所以,要用comma, 必须为独立主格。而A不是,只有C符合。
对于c “be able to” 差别不大,并不是每个人都会直接注意到或发现layers of sediment 的吧,需要通过颜色来判别,因为看到颜色才能够推知layers of sediments.
最后,综合以上,从气势和重心上讲,感觉C表达比较的精彩。。。 |
