回複：I happed to see the sentence you just deleted. I like that on

 

A locomotive has to be added fuel, such as coal, firewood, or other flammable substance, which is to be consumed to provide motion or energy for the machine.

The reason I did not like this one is that readers have to figure out what does which refer to, fuel/coal/firewood/other lammable substance ?

• 愚教授說得非常對！這裏最好不用從句。 -非文學青年- ♀ (0 bytes) () 08/10/2011 postreply 23:10:07

• 問題是從語言的角度，which指代那個名詞？ -EnLearner- ♀ (75 bytes) () 08/10/2011 postreply 23:15:25

• 謝謝愚教授精益求精，同意，這裏不用從句了！newton用了不定式，沒有用從句，他的表達對嗎？ -beautifulwind- ♀ (0 bytes) () 08/10/2011 postreply 23:20:54

• 我看錯了，newton也用了單句，沒用從句。 -beautifulwind- ♀ (0 bytes) () 08/10/2011 postreply 23:25:37

• TA好象漏翻了一句。 -EnLearner- ♀ (795 bytes) () 08/10/2011 postreply 23:30:35

• 我看了原文，原文用的從句。 the consumption of which...文青大師說對了！ -beautifulwind- ♀ (0 bytes) () 08/10/2011 postreply 23:40:14

• 是從句。假教授隻能說：因為這裏指代fuel比較明顯，所以不嚴謹也就不嚴謹了。金耳朵說對了！ -非文學青年- ♀ (0 bytes) () 08/10/2011 postreply 23:43:06

• Why? -EnLearner- ♀ (175 bytes) () 08/10/2011 postreply 23:47:45

• 恩，我的理解是such as... 也是修飾noun1的， 和which從句並列。 -非文學青年- ♀ (74 bytes) () 08/11/2011 postreply 00:10:41

• Thanks. Now it makes more sense to me. -EnLearner- ♀ (184 bytes) () 08/11/2011 postreply 07:23:58

• 應該是指代immediately proceeding的名詞。在這裏用從句不嚴謹。 -非文學青年- ♀ (0 bytes) () 08/10/2011 postreply 23:21:06
