[求助]og135 both 的用法

Intar,the oldest Hispanic therter company in New York, has moved away from the Spanish classics and now it draws on the works both of contemporary Hispanic authors who live abroad and of those in the United states.

(A)

(b)now draws on the works of contemporary Hispanic authors,both those who live abroad and those who live

(c)it draws on the works of contemporary Hispanic authors now, both those living abroad and who live

(d)draws now on the works both of contemporary Hispanic authors living abroad and who are living

(e) draws on the works now of both contemporary Hispanic authors living abroad and those

我不明白为什么both authors会造成歧义，而both those就不会歧义呢？是不是both后面接名词会造成歧义而接代词就不会呢？

还有，D的both of contemporary authors会不会有歧义呢？

请大家帮忙解答一下吧！谢谢

以下是引用himba在2004-10-31 13:39:00的发言： nod,i do not think both of contemporary authors的理解是不仅不对称，if 对称will not 造成两个作家的歧义

for here both of contemporary authors living abroad and who are living refer to two type of persons,

while both contemporary Hispanic authors living abroad does not including " and "to consist the phrase "both and" ,here both merely modifies contemporary Hispanic authors who live abroad ,only two contemporary Hispanic authors who live abroad,that is works of both contemporary Hispanic authors living abroad and works of those who are living

明白了，谢谢himba大虾

谢谢你 的解答，

我是针对og上“the position of both immediately before the phrase describing the authors suggests that there are only two contemporary Hispanic authors living abroad,”也就是说both contemporary Hispanic authors会造成两个作家的歧义，我对对D选项的both of contemporary authors的理解是不仅不对称，而且会造成两个作家的歧义，这样理解对吗？

Both A and B要求A,B前后对称。both those who live... and those who live...。those指代contemporary Hispanic authors没有问题。
