You can spend hours wandering around the department stores, leisurely inspecting the items for sale, or hunting for some antiques along the sidewalks, where you’ll most likely be amazed by the variety of things on display.
请问老师:
1.主句结构中是 spend hours doing sth。那样请问,wandering…, inspecting…和 hunting for…是三个并列的结构吗?
还是:inspecting…是 wandering…这个主句的随着状语;而 wandering…和 hunting for…是两个并列分句。
2. where you’ll most likely be amazed by the variety of things on display 是非限制性定语从句,先行词是the sidewalks? 假如去掉where 前的逗号,与原题相比有什么异同?

从语法上讲,这两种理解都成立。但从语义上看,wandering和hunting for形成对比。而leisurely inpectinig是对wandering对进一步描述。因此第二种理解更为合理。

假如去掉where,则两个主谓结构(即主语+限定动词形式)之间既没并列标记(并列连词或分号),也没从属标记(从属关联词或非限定动词),也就是说这两个主谓结构表达的信息不是同等要紧(并列),更不是重要程度不相等(从属),因此形成矛盾。从整个句子表达的内容来看,where从句只不过对sidewalk作补充说明,是次要信息,应该作为从属句。因此where的省略是不适合的。我也想问一下网友,本来非常不错的句子,为何你要去掉where?我的建议是不要随意改动原句,除非自己对英语语法结构与信息结构都非常知道了。
