undergraduate women还是women undergraduate
undergraduate women还是women undergraduate
To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds.
我对其中的undergraduate women（女大学生）不理解，我们不是通常将women放前面作定语吗？women doctors, women judges, women writers等，这里为什么是undergraduate women?

文中的undergraduate在此为形容词，意思是“具有大学生身份的”， undergraduate women的意思是“大学生女子”，或称“女大学生”。当然，你说成women undergraduate也可以，这样的话，undergraduate 就是名词了。
注：undergraduate的形容词用法许多词典没有收录，但《美国传统英汉双解学习词典》有收录。

用于名词前面的的undergraduate 可以看作形容词，也可以看作名词作定语：作形容词时，意思是“具有（在读）大学本科生身份的”；作为名词时，意思是“（在读）大学本科生”。 undergraduate women 和 women undergraduates 的意思相同。但是，不能说成women undergraduate。
注：undergraduate的形容词用法许多词典没有收录，但《美国传统英汉双解学习词典》、外研社《英汉多功能词典》和《麦克米兰高阶英汉双解词典》等有收录。
undergraduate ... [coun]: ... 常用于另一名词前 an undergraduate program 本科课程 undergraduate classes 本科班级（摘自《韦氏高阶英汉双解词典》）
undergraduate ... [noun]: ... an undergraduate course / dtudent / degree 大学本科课程 / 学生 / 学位 （摘自《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》第8版）
women作定语，其后的名词要用复数。women undergraduates.
a woman doctor, women doctors.
