1 是伴随状语 说明 topple 和rouse这两动作和主句的谓语struck是同时伴随发生的.
2 不是倒装,
3 引用另外一位百度知道的答案
several thousand 作前置定语用时(后面有其它名词)按规则一般不加s 例如:
Several thousand lawyers suspended for failing to pay dues
引自:加利福尼亚司法报
Wireless carrier Sprint Nextel Corp plans to lay off several thousand employees,
引自:路透社报道
但这点并不严格,也有例外,例如:
Several thousands pilgrims travel to Pleine du Nord,Haiti for the annual festival of Saint Jacques.
UNiFEED 联合国广播网站
Several thousands demonstrators protest on June 1,2008 against opening of a new rubbish dump
今日美国新闻网站
但所表示的基本意思都一样.
做单独名词使用就需要加上s
例如:
We have sold several thousands of Mobile Cell Phone
Several thousands were killed and thousands more injured as a strong quake measuring 6.3 on the Richter ...
Several thousands of Ingush protesters in the streets of Nazran ...
总体来说,英语在这方面不是很严格,所以引起老师们的分歧.实践中,没有那么抠语法的.
但在考试中,记住做前置定语用时不加s,其余都加就可以了.
