Increases in population and the expansion of trade led to increased manufacturing 解释英语句子
Increases in population and the
expansion of trade led to increased manufacturing, much of it
small-scale in character but some requiring significant capital
investment.
麻烦解释一下much of it 后面small-scale 和in character什么关系,后面看不明白
答
small-scale in character应该就是形容它具有小规模的特点吧
后面都是用来形容manufacturing的,意思是大多数都具有小规模的特点,但有些则需要大额投资嗯，明白一些不过为什么much of it 后面没有动词呢？比如是was之类的，结构能解析一下吗？后面不是句子，应该是同位语吧，如果有was的话，那就变成句子了，两句中间要加连词的
