so he sent among them a big stork that soon set to work eating them all up.
问题描述：
so he sent among them a big stork that soon set to work eating them all up.
该句子中的 sent among 是短语吗,还是among them 是组合在一起的.该句子意思是所以他派了一只大鹳去,这只大鹳很快就开始工作,并把它们都吃光了
为什么set to work 后面直接加 eating them all up ,是省略了and还是 set to work doing是短语.
答
among和sent是分开的,among简单的指给他们送去了什么,set to work 和eating them up ,相当于解释的意思,并没有省略什么.意思是,这个,work=eat them up ...如果有什么不明白,欢迎继续追问
