问题描述:
3020104:because of her larger size the female does most of the incubating while the male hunts for enough food to feed them both.
想知道的问题:
1—句尾的for enough food to feed them both.为什么both放在最后什么用法?both可以提前吗?
答
both 称作同位语,只能跟在核心名词或代词后,不能放在前面.在本句中,both 是不定式 to feed 的宾语 them(小鸟和雌鸟)的同位语,因此需要跟在 them 后面.
参考译文(变通翻译):由于雌鸟个头较大,绝大部分时间由它孵鸟,而雄鸟则捕捉足够多的食物既喂食雏鸟也给雌鸟吃.
