有关“名词所有格+同位语”

有人问到这样一道题:

(1)We called at _____.

A. Peter's the doctor's clinic

B. Peter's, the doctor's clinic

C. Peter's, the doctor, clinic

D. Peter, the doctor's clinic

应选哪一项?

应选B。D中的Peter之后如无逗号,亦属正确。上述两类皆属正确的“名词所有格+同位语”结构。此外,还有一种“名词所有格+名词+名词所有格的同位语”结构,如:

(2)He joined his cousin's company, Mr. T. R. Benson.(Mr. T. R. Benson与his cousin's同位)
