以下是引用fuyun在2005-12-26 12:10:00的发言:B. that number of trucks alone C. the number of trucks by themselves B,C区别除了the与that, alone修饰that number of trucks,但是by themselves修饰trucks,重心转变,句意转变。 I think that "alone" modifies "trucks" in the original sentense...but alone seems to be more succinct than "by themselves"...it's not a question of the switched emphasis of the sentense...but a question of a more idiomatic and accurate expression--"alone" or "by themselves". Partially agree that "by themselves" has a different meaning from "alone".
