因為which引導的從句沒有緊跟在它的先行詞colonies後面而是在animals後面,引起了歧義。 ...
Naked mole rats form colonies of approximately twenty animals, each of which consists of a single reproductive female and workers that defend her.
A. each of which consists
B. with each of them consisting
C. each colony consisting
D. and each of them consist
E. and each colony consisting
我一直觉得,理解成each of which修饰A of B 整体,和理解成each of which 修饰B我觉得都没有错,两种都是可以。所以在确定修饰对象上,用subgroup modifier(each of which) 就没有用一个absolute phrase (each colony consisting..)明确。因为each colony consisting.., 这个absolute phrase 明确了自己的逻辑主语就是colony; 而each of which..., 读者还要选择是逻辑主语是colonies,还是animals.
