在第二段的第二行:

The commonest spaces are those among the particles-sand grains and tiny pebbles-of loose, unconsolidated sand and gravel.

為什麼要寫成The commonest spaces are those among…

不能寫成The commonest spaces are among….

就像The book is on the table? 謝謝。

nonpublic123 為什麼要寫成The commonest spaces are those among…

原寫法意思明確: (暫時借用數學符號，"are" 相當於等號 "=")
The commonest spacesA = those(也是spaces, 我用 spacesB 來代替) among the particles ...
→ spacesA = spacesB

不能寫成The commonest spaces are among ...

The commonest spaces are among the particles ...
→ What's among the particles? 整體空隙裡頭的一小部分也是 "among the particles ..."。還是另有所指？We don't know.
換句話說意思不夠原寫法那麼明確

原來如此，我懂了。所以應該可以看成:

The commonest spaces are those spaces among the particles of loose, unconsolidated sand and gravel.

->最常見就是在小碎石與微小沙粒之間的這些空隙之中

如果是The commonest spaces are among the particles of loose, unconsolidated sand and gravel. 就變成

->最常見就是在小碎石與微小沙粒之間 (之間的什麼?)->意思不明確
