这道题就是典型的“n1, n2 v". 综合这道题和stoneren 的解释与举例,我想是不是这样: 当n1是同位补充解释时,n2后不加逗号是可以的。比如这个og56 当n2充当同位补充解释时,就需要加逗号。比如og35。 同位语虽然是等价的意思, 但peajack, 我认为主语和同位语的位置不能互换. 如果architects and stonemasons作主语, 那在逻辑上是说不通的. 因为是the Maya建造了那些宫殿和庙宇without of benefit..., 而不是随便的一些建筑师和石头匠(泛指). 同位语是解释说明主语,把凡高的view定义成The Bridge of T不合逻辑;只有把The Bridge of T解释成凡高的画才行。 可以参考 OG 220
220. For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788, England exiled some 160,000 criminals to Australia. (A) For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788, (B) Beginning in 1788 for a period of a hundred years, (C) Beginning a period of almost a hundred years, in 1788, (D) During a hundred years, a period beginning in 1788,(E) (E) Over a period of a hundred years beginning in 1788,Aside from being wordy and awkward, choice A is illogical: because its refers grammatically to England, A states nonsensically that England had its beginning in 1788. Choice B is similarly illogical, because the initial verb phrase Beginning in 1788... modifies England, the subject of the main clause. Choice C is imprecise, saying that England in 1788 was Beginning a period... but not conveying the sense that anything happened within that period. Choice D is awkward and unidiomatic, and nonsensically suggests that a hundred years is defined as a period beginning in 1788. Precise and idiomatically phrased, choice E is best.
