难句解析,下句中palm downdown 到底是什么用法呢?
原句是：One also has to make the assumption that hands were stenciled palm downward—a left hand stenciled palm upward might of course look as if it were a right hand.
想求解释,其中palm downdown 到底是什么用法呢?
是修饰hands,还是修饰stenciled的状语,还是“hands 是 palm”,然后downward修饰palm呢?
我看翻译是“被用于塑模的手手掌朝下”.
求各位帮忙哦~
