再来一句话,谢谢了

Covering about 120square miles, the New York City borough of Queens is almost as large as Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island combined

最后那个combined不理解V }{{(qK+`S
是后置定语吗?

这句的标点用了一个不好的 convention。这样是正当的标点:
k9`r|O6|3C Covering about 120 square miles, the New York City borough of Queens is almost as large as Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island combined.$E^"j RV!iSX3m?

*clD0A%C y1e Combined 在这里的意义是:
#Rh;XC#s7Y taken as a whole or considered together; in the aggregate: [i]outselling all other brands combined[/i].  (Dictionary.com)

回复 3# Asrgbf 的帖子

谢谢提醒,确实有第二个逗号
tY Qmj 我知道combined在这里的意思t,?#i$kD(OK i-mC
但是我不理解它的语法功能啊d MCw } l]
是后置定语还是什么?为什么不是combining什么的

因为是说 Manhattan、the Bronx、和 Staten Island combined together,固然是定语,但这种定语习惯是放在后面的,因为是从动词变化而来。
/ha.AgK } 2U.s-y'\/m
The combined area of Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island is smaller than the area of Queens.   这里只有一样,所以 combined 放在前面。但是一有两个或更多,就放在后面了。
