some (being) only a few yards wide, others (being) as broad as an Iowa cornfield. 这是二个独立主格结构作状语,省略了系词be的现在分词being。独立主格结构本质上是分词作状语带有自己的逻辑主语,如果分词是系词be的现在分词being时,being通常省略。
For the next 1,800 miles the thin blue ribbon of the Nile, flowing slowly north, unwound over brown soil and green fields, some only a few yards wide, others as broad as an Iowa cornfield.
