NCE-4-16 里的一句话:The modern city consists of monstrous edifices and of dark,narrow streets full of petrol fumes and toxic gases ,torn by the noise of the taxicabs,lorries and buses,and thronged ceaselessly by great crowds.
1. 请问of dark中的of 是否可以去掉?
柯林斯下面例句中并没有在and 后面加of: The division will consist of two tank companies and one infantry company.
2. 从语法角度看torn by the noise of the taxicabs,lorries and buses是修饰modern city还是narrow streets?
谢谢指教。
这个句子的of加得很好。of的加入使得full of..., torn by...和 thronged by三个后置定语只能修饰streets,不能修饰edifices。
如果没有of, 你就得思考这三个并列的后置定语是修饰streets 呢还是修饰edifices and streets.
句子告诉你,现代城市由高楼大厦和街道组成。而废气、出租车、公交车等都只在街上而不在高楼大厦里。逻辑上就可以排除三个并列结构修饰主语。
