John's skeleton had been unearthed in the backyard of his home not far from where his mother had been sitting.此歧义句,先不考虑not far from...作后置定语的场合。在修饰谓语动词时,这个句子的两个地点状语之间是什么关系?
He was a clever man and apleasant companion,but was always in debt and had too great a fondness for the bottle.我觉得句子中too great应该放在冠词a 后面,放进来修饰这个名词fondness,一起构成名词短语,放出来感觉翻译怪怪的
