※ 引述《scju (QQ)》之铭言： : 大家好，请问一下 : 1.在Longman Idioms Dictionary的SPIRIT条目中，看到这样的例句： : Albert's diet consisted of microwave meals, varied by cooking in a disgusting : frying pan when the spirit moved him. : 里头consisted和varied都是动词，却只用逗号连接，是否有误呢？ : 如果是分词，就变成： : Albert's diet consisted of microwave meals which were varied by cooking in a : disgusting frying pan when the spirit moved him. 我觉得这边的 varied by cooking in a disgusting frying pan when the spirit moved him 应该是补充说 Albert's diet 偶尔会有的变化， 而不是後面的 microwave meals。 : 那我想再问，类似的结构： : Depending on where you ate, small orders of fries could vary by 110 calories : and by 320 milligrams of sodium. : 为何同样是vary後面加by，前面那句用被动语态，後面那句则是主动语态呢？ : 想厘清这两句话的by的意思。 : 谢谢！ 前面那句的 by 是「以」cooking in a disgusting frying pan 做变化， 後面的 by 则是「差异」的意思， 两个 by 是不同的用法。 : 2.不好意思，顺便多问一句： : He's always turning up late with some fantastic excuse, expecting me to : swallow it whole! : 这句话是否可以理解成这样： : He's always turning up late with some fantastic excuse, (and is) expecting me : to swallow it whole! : 谢谢！ 个人认为语意上有些微差别， 但要帮助了解应可如此理解。 --
