Question

求分析英语句子结构
missing until recently were fossils clearly intermediate,or transitional ,between land mammals and cetaceans.
虽然知道是倒装句,意思也能将就理解,但是总对结构有些模棱两可.
是不是等于
fossils,clearly intermediate,or transitional between land mammals and cetaceans,were missing recently.那个中间部分是插入语吗?

Answer 1

正确句序应该是：clearly intermediate,or transitional fossils between land manmmals and cetaceans were missing until recently.所以那个部分应该是定语.意思为：陆地哺乳动物过渡到鲸的化石直到近来才发现....
