Molai built at the 33 of each sapling a bamboo platform,where he placed earthen pots with small holes to collect rainwater.
1) 句中作状语成分的介词短语“at the 33 of each snaping ”放在了谓语和宾语之间,即:built a bamboo flatform之间。介词短语的位置是不是可以很随意?比如这句,将at the 33 of each snaping放在句首是否可以?即放在主语之前。
2)at the 33 of each sapling是否可以改为:at each of the 33 sapling?
你的句子来自2020新全国卷Ⅰ的完形填空题,其中的33应填 top,为方便起见,我们先把它填上:
Molai built at the top of each sapling a bamboo platform, where he placed earthen pots with small holes to collect rainwater.
(1)句中的 at the top of each sapling 是地点状语,本来应放在句末的,但考虑到built的宾语a bamboo platform 后面跟了一个非限制性的定语从句,太长,所以改变了句子结构,把介词短语前移到动词之后和宾语之前,当然把它放在句首也完全可以:
At the top of each sapling Molai built a bamboo platform, where he placed earthen pots with small holes to collect rainwater.
(2)at the top of each sapling(在每棵树苗的顶部)显然不能改为at each of the top sapling,否则意思不通。
全句意为:莫莱在每棵树苗的顶部建造了一个竹平台,并在平台上放置着带有小孔的土罐来收集雨水。
