Central-bank demand–and emerging-market-bank demand in particular–was the greatest driver behind the increase, with buying exceeding 1,000 metric tons of the precious metal for the third year in a row. On an annual basis, central-bank demand declined 1%, but purchases rocketed 54% on-year in the fourth quarter, to 332.9 tons.
问题:
1.for the third year的for什么意思
2.in a row词典里的意思是连续的,那in a row是后置定语修饰year吗?
3.on-year和in the forth quarter都是并列关系作状语一起修饰rocketed,但to 332.9tons也修饰rocket,那前面的逗号不应该去掉吗?直接3个介词短语去并列修身rocket?
4.in particular是介词短语作后置定语吗?
1. for这里取used for talking about how often something has happened,即用于讨论频次(第几次),常用的有for the first time、for the third time、for the last time等,而for the third year即第三年(这里可以看作一种频次)。
2. in a row可以看作后置定语修饰the third year。不过这种(for the+)序数词+单数名词+in a row已经形成比较稳定的搭配,可以看作一个整体。
注意:这个结构中the+序数词+单数名词可以与基数词+复数名词互换。例如:for the third year in a row = (for 可省) three years in a row,前者可能更侧重描述第三年的情况,后者侧重描述总体情况;其他类似的表达有for the third year running = for three years running;for the third year in succession = three years in succession; for three consecutive years = for the third consecutive year。
也可以扩展至其他的表达,例如:This is her third win in a row.
3. 这里的on-year似乎通常写作year-on-year,即“同比(与去年同期比)”,54% = by 54%,表示幅度,to 332.9 tons加上逗号,具有补充、追加的意味,去掉逗号感觉也可以。
4. in particular这种算下加状语,与especially之类一样表示强调。
个人见解,仅供参考。
