[問題]2003年10月Q34(structure)

[ypy00]

34.European settlers in North America moved from the Atlantic coast across 3,000 miles forests, grasslands, deserts, and mountains until they reached the Pacific Ocean.

答案是C->miles of forests

但B->不是應該是who acrossed嗎??

[nexxt0722]

across在這裡應當作介詞,主要動詞仍為moved

1.將from the Atlantic coast視為第一組介係詞片語,修飾動詞moved
2.將across 3,000 miles forests, grasslands, deserts, and mountains視為第二組介係詞片語,一樣修飾動詞moved
3.the Atlantic coast 和 across之間並無關係,若二者之間真有相關,也應該用that 或 which, 而不會用who (除非將海岸擬人化)

一點淺見,斟酌參考,歡迎討論指教!
