英语中几个并列状语的先后位置问题
Later another wrong idea about tomatoes grew up - the idea that they were poisonous. How surprised the people who thought tomatoes poisonous would be if they could know that millions of pounds of tomatoes were supplied to soldiers overseas during World War II. 请问最后的overseas和during World War II这两个地点状语和时间状语的位置可以互换吗?为什么?

答案

基本原则是,在句末时,地点状语+ 时间状语；
其次,这里的overseas,adv,实际做后置定语,修饰soldiers,不要分开：海/驻外的士兵,把定语与其所修饰的先行词隔的太远不是好的措词手法,易造成理解上的困难.
