1. This book is about Jimmy's attempts to set up a book company that is run by people his own age
问题1:his own age是个名词词组,前面是否省略了介词?除非是限制性同位语,名词是不可以直接作为后置修饰语的吧
2. Ritu was quite a people person and usually went out of her way to offer help.
问题2:quite a people person是什么使用方法?
3. There's in people simply an urge to destroy, an urge to kill, to murder and rage, and until all mankind, without exception, undergoes a great change, great wars will be waged, everything that has been built up, cultivated, and grown will be destroyed and disfigured, after which mankind will have to begin all over again.(该句源于安妮日记)
问题3:great wars will be waged和everything that... will be destroyed and disfigured两个分句之间应该有个并列连词,为何省略了?这是逗号句吗?
谢谢邀答。
1. 这是和age搭配用的一种习惯使用方法,可以看作前面省略了of. 有没of都对,而且都容易见到。可以理解为后置定语。
2. quite常常用于修饰一个名词短语,特别是有形容词修饰的名词短语, 如:This was quite a farm in its day. It's quite a big room. 你的句子里的people虽然是名词,但起形容词用途,修饰person. 指喜欢和别人交际的人。
3.这里虽然是并列句,但没必要加and, 由于后面有个after which, 指的是前面议到的几种情形。而且,在文学作品里,有时作者从修辞角度考虑,为了句子有紧凑感,有时会出现用逗号分隔句子的现象。
但也有些版本把后面的after which改为and,使后面的几个分句信息并列出现。
