同意.我觉得so放在them后面也可以,放在named前面无非是起一个强调作用吧,毕竟解释说明的是mountains名字,突出一下重点也是情理之中。同时也感觉不出so放在them后面会有什么毛病,一逻辑上不会修饰到supposedly,二不可能because从句.. 不过sheer we rocks是不是typos呢?
以下是引用aeoluseros在2009-3-18 23:18:00的发言: umm...指代名词短语glass house mountains(so指代名词短语并充当宾语补足语是可以的).这里so就作为them的宾语补足语。还原就是:named them glass house mountains.
这样的话还原后就是Captain JC named The Glass House Mountains named them glass house mountains.
NY Times上的similar example: Like all employees of Amazon.com, Mr. Bezos -- who so named his company because the image of a huge volume of water tracked his goal of dealing in a huge volume of books -- refuses to comment on the stock price for the record.
