你的句子不是一个完整的句子,要么就是承上文有所省略,所以不是很好判断。仅就你提供的这个结构来看,若要表示“我是哪儿人”,是不能用进行时态的。

是的,dozen 的意思是 12,不是 13;但 baker’s dozen 的意思是 13。你在词典中查查 baker’s dozen 就知道了,它是个习语。《美国传统英汉双解学习词典》对此的解释是:这是早期面包师的一种习惯,在12个面包之外再额外加上一个,以防份量不足。相当于“一打加一个”。所以你的句子的翻译是对的。

句中的 to happen 是多余的。frequent表示“频繁的”这一意思时,往往已暗含有“频繁发生”这一含义,所以一般不宜再与 to happen 连用。如:这个十字路口经常发生车祸误:Car accidents are frequent to happen at this cross. 正:Car accidents are frequent at this cross-roads. 又如:Earthquakes are frequent in this a...
