For members of the seventeenth-century Ashanti
nation in Africa, animal-hide shields with wooden
frames were essential items of military equipment,
a method to protect warriors against enemy arrows
and spears.
(A) a method to protect
(B) as a method protecting
(C) protecting
(D) as a protection of
(E) to protect
问题:我知道答案选C 也明白原因
但是E选项 因为不定式to do前一般没有句号 所以这个错了而且明显没有C解释好
但是OG的解释“Although the infi nitive to protect would work
if it were not preceded by a comma, it
cannot act as a nonrestrictive adjectival
phrase modifying items.”
呃?怎么觉得我想的这么另类呢……
不定式to do修饰名词表目的的时候都是限定性的修饰成分,如A to do B译作“用于B的A”,限定了“不是其它种类的A”,所以if it were not preceded by comma,it cannot act as a nonrestrictive adjectival phrase modifying tiems.
