新概念三课文问题
新概念3第一课中一句话：The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her.
其中,我对picking很不理解,自己理解是不是‘picking blackberries’做woman的定语?是不是在其前面加“who was”也是说的通的?

Answer 1

你说的完全对,分词结构作定语
加who was等于是个定语从句,本来从句和分词就是可以互化的
但因为前面已经有了一个定语从句where引导的,你再加个定语从句容易造成结构混乱,也不如分词简洁
