Question

However,the system of London,the earliest,is in 1863.请问 the earliest是什么成分?
是定语后置吗

Answer 1

However,the system of London,the earliest,is in 1863.请问 the earliest是什么成分?
the earliest 相当于：the earliest system of London.
the earliest 是 the system of London 的同位语.是对the system of London的补充说明.
earliest单独看是形容词的最高级形式.但是前面加了定冠词the ,这时它已经名词化了.所以应视为同位语.
翻译：然而,伦敦最早的系统是在1863年.
