Question

eyes the color of rotting squash 1,为什么eyes后不加be动词,2,the color of rotting

Answer 1

这是小说 The Hunger Games 中的一句话.原句是
Sitting at Prim’s knees,guarding her,is the world’s ugliest cat.Mashed-in nose,half of one ear missing,eyes the color of rotting squash.坐在Prim 膝上的守着她的是世界上最丑的猫.塌鼻子,少了半个耳朵,眼睛是腐烂南瓜的颜色.
eyes 后不加be 动词是因为这不是完整的一句话,而是形容词短语
