哪些形容词后置做定语而非前置

问题描述

But the little valley down which it came was much steeper and rockier than the one he had just left and much overgrown with bushes.

这里的 down 我觉得是形容词和定语从句 which it came 一起修饰 valley，但觉得 down做定语不是应该前置的么？

觉得后半句 much overgrown with bushes 是修饰 the one 的形容词短语，为什么和定从是用 and 连接的!

谢谢老师解答！

老师答疑

陈老师：

But the little valley down which it came was much steeper and rockier than the one he had just left and much overgrown with bushes.

1. 句中的 down 是介词，down which it came 是定语从句（介词+which 引导的定语从句），修饰名词 valley。

2. the one = the valley。

3. and much overgrown with bushes 不是修饰 the one 的形容词短语，而是与前面的 much steeper and rockier 并列的表语。much overgrown 在此相当于thickly overgrown。

▲句子的基本结构是：But the little valley (down which it came) was much steeper and rockier (than the one he had just left) and much overgrown with bushes.

▲句意：但是，其（指这个 it 所代表示事物，应该是指一条小河）源头上的那个小山谷比他刚刚离开的那个山谷要更加陡峭，岩石也更多，而且还长满了枝繁叶茂的灌木。
