PP. 112-の同格構文について*1。
6.4 例題 Before the motor age, travel for pleasure was largely restricted to the rich. If they had money enough they would go to Europe. Otherwise they would spend the summer at the seashore or in the mountains, or perhaps they would take the waters at some health resort. People only moderately well to do were likely to confine their travel to matters of business or to such exigencies as family weddings and funerals. Down among the white collars, and those only a notch or two above the under-privileged, travel was usually limited to a honeymoon or perhaps once in a lifetime a flying visit to the World's Fair or the centennial celebration of some historical event.
