老师您好！

In 1963 a bomber crashed on Wallis island,a long way west of Samoa.

本句中“a long way west of Samoa”是“Wallis island”的同位语。

1. 对于a long way west of Samoa，中“a long way”与“west of Samoa”均为名词性短语，那么2个名词性短语的关系是什么样的呢？

解答：a long way 与west of Samoa 属于一种“方位距离关系”意思萨摩亚群岛西部的一段长路。沃利斯岛是位于萨摩亚群岛西部的遥远地方。

2.请老师总结一下名词与名词间都有什么样的关系。
