adj同ad既問題

先答你2.因為我看得明係冇寫錯。

motionless是adj，係可以咁寫法，正如寫一句類同的：They are sitting still. They sit still的still都是adj. 我想你有點誤解了adj跟ad的用法，由於所描述或形容的是那個人物,而不是那個動作，所以用了看似不對的詞。

句式的讀法應是：
They were now sitting, motionless, in their chairs.
用結構來看是這樣的句式：
They were motionless, sitting in their chair.
拆解便是兩句
They were sitting in their chair (now). They were montionless.

同理：
She was majestic, sat in her armchair, filling every inch of it.

這句甚為complex，因為後句的filling是說她的威嚴(majesty)充滿那寶座的每一吋，不是說她坐著時身體填滿那椅的每一吋，所以majestic是那句子的描述重點。

當然你說的改為majestically對於句前部(comma前)是ok，但卻連不上後句，句後部便會被讀為是她身軀龐大，佔坐整張椅子，跟作者想要表達的不同了。

看來你已經懂得文法應用，但對於文學運用還要努力。

我也是戰戰兢兢地互相學習。謝謝你提出這問題。希望沒有解錯。

She sat there majestic in her armchair, filling every inch of it.
They were now sitting motionless in their chairs.


1. Majestic是形容“she”本人的狀態，意思是she looks majestic，而並非要說「她坐的動作很高貴」。
2. 同樣地，motionless是形容“They”當下靜止的狀況，而不是用來形容sitting這動作的。

看以下例子：

She strode majestically thorough the Palace.
形容的是“strode”，有幾咁昂貴闊步、幾咁威武，所以是majestically。
There were many people who were sleeping motionlessly.
在形容“sleeping”一如死魚般的狀態，所以是motionlessly。
