如何识别被修饰限定的中心词

The USPTO will not review an amendment to allege use filed after the date that the application is approved for publication by the examining attorney.

对于准确判断红色字体的后置限定成分是修饰限定的amendment to allege use, 还是 allege use,是否有规律可循。另外,如果要将这个后置定语改为修饰限定allege use, 或者重新给allege use 加上限定成分,又该是什么样子的。想通过对比这两种情况,来尽可能牢固掌握名词+后置定语的结构,不知是否行得通。


The TRAB scrutinized the trademark use evidence and found that there were a number of inconsistencies in the evidence submitted by Jiangxi Hengda, which failed to form a complete chain of evidence, and thereby cancelled the trademark on 7 January 2016.

这段,是中国人写的。对于准确判断或用which来指代Jiangxi Hengda, 还是the evidence,是否有规律可循。如果单纯靠对语义或逻辑的理解,觉得很难掌握。

你的想法很好,不用动脑筋就能知道英语句子结构。但这在很多情况下是不可能的,因为有时候你只能根据句子表达的逻辑意义来判断一个修饰语是修饰前面哪个词的。有时候需要专业知识,有时候需要逻辑分析。

The USPTO will not review an amendment to allege use filed after the date that the application is approved for publication by the examining attorney.

amendment to allege use是法律专用语,声称使用修正案。这是一个不可分隔的专有名词,其中心词为amendment.  filed过去分词短语修饰这个修正案。后面的that从句修饰date.


The TRAB scrutinized the trademark use evidence and found that there were a number of inconsistencies in the evidence submitted by Jiangxi Hengda, which failed to form a complete chain of evidence, and thereby cancelled the trademark on 7 January 2016.

Jiangxi Henda是一个公司名称,怎么能形成证据链呢?所以which定语从句只能是修饰前面的evidence。


主语+谓语+名词1+介词+名词2,which定语从句。

这个定语从句究竟是修饰名词2,名词1还是修饰整个主句?都有可能的。偶尔名词的数可以帮你判断,但多数情况下你只能根据逻辑和句子上下文才能确定定语从句的先行词为何。所以,不动脑还是不行的。
