请分析一个英语小句型
They caught lobster and fish every day,and,as one of them put it'ate like kings'.自学导读里说这里的caught和ate是并列谓语,可是‘ate like kings’不是put it指代的话么?就因为抓完鱼虾要吃,所以它们是并列谓语?这句话源于新概念3第十二课倒数第二句.

Answer 1

你好.最好的解释是这样的,把as one of them put it 这个插入语结构放到最后,这样就容易理解了：
They caught lobster and fish every day and "ate like kings", as one of them put it.

They caught lobster and fish every day and "ate like kings"（并列谓语）, as one of them put it. （插入语结构）

-------caught - - - and ate - - - （并列谓语）,
-------as one of them put it. （插入语结构）
