用排除法可以很快去掉BCDE. 原句是一般过去时, BE出现现在时. C中with错,being错. D中to be多余, 且意思错. 读完原句可能不认为dwelling就是roof. 但是排除了BCDE后, 就应该可以理解了.

哪位能翻译一下这个句子，看不懂...

1stzhang

原话中逗号后的是独立结构，each 是独立结构的逻辑主语，a roof ....是逻辑谓语的一部分。还原后本句话是“each is a roof and arrowweed supported by posts set in a rectangle.”中文意思是“一个这样的住宅是由几根柱子和...支撑单个屋顶构成。”重点想强调说明是  “一间住宅由一个屋顶构成”

B. 句中进行时态无意义；原话中set in a rectangle 是定语修饰posts
C.选项中如果没有being也对因为独立结构可以由加上with;
D/E的用法是不对的，并且会产生歧义，大家体会一下

我觉得这道题难在单词上,
用排除法,确实很有用.可以选对.
但我当时,硬是不认识arrowweed
翻译了好几个回合,都不对,最后还是查了词典,原来是指一种植物.
这样理解就通畅了.

我认为，CDE中WITH有歧义，让人有可能认为是Mojave 拥有一个roof，而原意应是dewllings with roof

我觉得这道题目和OG122有些相似;
122. Chinese, the most ancient of living writing systems, consists of tens of thousands of ideographic characters, each character a miniature calligraphic composition inside its own square frame.

(A) each character a miniature calligraphic composition inside its
(B) all the characters a miniature calligraphic ; composition inside their
(C) all the characters a miniature calligraphic composition inside its
(D) every character a miniature calligraphic composition inside their
(E) each character a miniature calligraphic composition inside their
答案是A.
A中each character a miniature calligraphic composition inside its own square frame也是个同位语.
但是我想问一下这个同位语的结构分析.是不是
each character (is) a miniature calligraphic composition inside its own square frame.
省略了is了??
