…by having people adopt a healthy lifestyle, both from a medical standpoint as well as nutritional and cognitive stimulation standpoint, we can reduce …
其中both和 and连接两个观点,那个as well as作者看样子想拿来当cognitive stimulation standpoint的定语,但我觉得他放错了,老师们怎么认为呢?
both from a medical standpoint as well as nutritional and cognitive stimulation standpoint,
作者在写这一部分时,写作不够严谨。
第一,both...and...为关联并列连词,连接相等的语法结构。应该用both from A and from B 或者from both A and B. 但作者的结构A项是介词短语,B项是名词短语,违法了平行原则。
第二,both...and...用来强调二者都,而不是三者。但作者的给出的内容实际是三项,medical standpoint, nutritional standpoint 和 cognitive stimulation standpoint. 这样就不适合用both...and...结构。
所以,作者的这个句子是需要改进的。简单的方法就是删去both。
from a medical standpoint as well as nutritional and cognitive stimulation standpoint,
这个结构中,from后接 A as well as C and D.
C和D是已知信息,强调A,含义是,不但C和D,更为重要的是A。
