I happed to see the sentence you just deleted. I like that one b

Because I would like to avoid unnecessary repeated word.

Was this the sentence you just deleted？

A locomotive has to be added fuel, such as coal, firewood, or other flammable substance, which is to be consumed to provide motion or energy for the machine.

All of the other suggestions are excellent!!!

• 统统都是可燃的东西。文青用了consumption of which. -beautifulwind- ♀ (0 bytes) () 08/10/2011 postreply 23:00:59

• 愚教授说得非常对！这里最好不用从句。 -非文学青年- ♀ (0 bytes) () 08/10/2011 postreply 23:10:07

• 问题是从语言的角度，which指代那个名词？ -EnLearner- ♀ (75 bytes) () 08/10/2011 postreply 23:15:25

• 谢谢愚教授精益求精，同意，这里不用从句了！newton用了不定式，没有用从句，他的表达对吗？ -beautifulwind- ♀ (0 bytes) () 08/10/2011 postreply 23:20:54

• 我看错了，newton也用了单句，没用从句。 -beautifulwind- ♀ (0 bytes) () 08/10/2011 postreply 23:25:37

• 我看了原文，原文用的从句。 the consumption of which...文青大师说对了！ -beautifulwind- ♀ (0 bytes) () 08/10/2011 postreply 23:40:14

• 是从句。假教授只能说：因为这里指代fuel比较明显，所以不严谨也就不严谨了。金耳朵说对了！ -非文学青年- ♀ (0 bytes) () 08/10/2011 postreply 23:43:06

• Why? -EnLearner- ♀ (175 bytes) () 08/10/2011 postreply 23:47:45

• 恩，我的理解是such as... 也是修饰noun1的， 和which从句并列。 -非文学青年- ♀ (74 bytes) () 08/11/2011 postreply 00:10:41

• Thanks. Now it makes more sense to me. -EnLearner- ♀ (184 bytes) () 08/11/2011 postreply 07:23:58

• 应该是指代immediately proceeding的名词。在这里用从句不严谨。 -非文学青年- ♀ (0 bytes) () 08/10/2011 postreply 23:21:06
