Limestone is one of the best materials for cave formation because the rock is soluble, meaning water will dissolve it.
请问老师:
1 现在分词短语 meaning water will dissolve it 在句子中做什么成分?修饰前面的句子 the rock is soluble?
2 可以提供类似用法的例子吗?
Limestone is one of the best materials for cave formation because the rock is soluble, meaning water will dissolve it.
参考译文:石灰岩是形成洞穴的最佳材料之一,因为岩石是可溶解的,这意味着水会溶解它。
解答:meaning water will dissolve it 为现在分词短语作结果状语,现在分词逻辑主语为前面原因状语从句的“整句话内容:即“ the rock is soluble".相当于一个非限制性定语从句, The rock is soluble , which means water will dissolve it .(备注it指代rock, which指代 the rock is soluble)

为了弄懂这个问题,先看一个简单例子:
motion sb. to sth.: to make a gesture to sb. showing what you want them to do, where they should go.etc.
从to make a gesture to sb. showing what you want them to do, where they should go. etc.都是解释motion sb.to sth(用手势示意某人)的含义,分两层来解释,第一层用to make a gesture to sb(用手势示意某人),接下来再用分词短语再对to make a gesture to sb解释,扩展,说明。
我们再来看Limestone is one of the best materials for cave formation(大意是:石灰石是形成洞穴的最佳材料之一)为啥?
同样分两层来解释第一层用 because the rock is soluble(因为岩石是可溶解的),接下来再用分词短语对soluble解释,扩展,说明,“可溶解的”的含义就是water will dissolve it.(水会溶解它)从语法结构上作状语,修饰,说明soluble的。
