一個句子的問題和一個字的翻譯
One can hardly read literature or legends without coming across the stories of magical, mystical creatures.(這是前一句,以下問題都是指下面那句)
Among them, the elves, perhaps the most well-known creatures, evolving from German mythology, take many shapes and seizes with most bearing long pointed ears.
1.請問them是指什麼?literature or legends還是creatures?
2.among them後面是不是連用兩個同位語?是同位前面的them嗎?如果是,當我把among them移到句子的最後面,那兩個同位語要不要一起移?如果不是,他們是同位什麼?
3.這句是用分詞構句嗎?那主詞是什麼?
4.為什麼後面那句也沒有主詞?祈使句?
(抱歉問這麼多問題...
之前在評論版的地方看到一句話She is a ratchet.
請問ratchet是什麼意思?
我怎麼找都只有「棘輪」或「棘齒」的意思

1.請問them是指什麼?literature or legends還是creatures?
是creatures
2.among them後面是不是連用兩個同位語?是同位前面的the嗎?如果是,當我把among them移到句子的最後面,那兩個同位語要不要一起移?如果不是,他們是同位什麼?
elves的同位語是跟在後面的the most well-known creatures
the elves take many shapes and sizes ...是主要子句,among them是它的修飾語,為了與前一句的內容相連結,所以移到句前做為「轉承詞」。
3.這句是用分詞構句嗎?那主詞是什麼?
... evolving from German mythology...是形容詞性質的「分詞片語」,修飾前面的名詞creatures,因為是非限定性質的修飾語,所以前後加上逗號。
「分詞構句」是副詞性質的修飾語,修述的對象是述部。不是本句的狀況。
4.為什麼後面那句也沒有主詞?祈使句?
這兩句都是簡單句(simple sentence),各只有一組述部。
One can ... read literature or legends....
The elves ... takes many shapes and sizes....
5. A ratchet is a metal piece that fits between the teeth, allowing movement in one direction only.
所以She is a ratchet.這句可能是「比喻」的說法,把她類比成一個關鍵的零件:她的角色就像是一個能防止齒輪逆轉的「棘齒」。

1. them 有可能是(literature or) legends 也有可能是stories 或是creatures
到底是誰 要由語意決定
example:
One can hardly read certain books without falling into dreams, among them, the Bible, and the Great Exp.
