When adding a modifier like "active" before a compound of nouns like "termites and organisms", be sure to clarify whether you intend the modifier to apply to both nouns or just the first one.

当一组名词(如“白蚁和有机体”)前有一个修饰语(如“活动着的”)时，你一定要弄清楚这个修饰语是修饰两个名词还是仅仅修饰第一个名词。

Use (and) parentheses (just as you do in mathematics) to apply a modifier to a subexpression. Here's an example: Given text file test.txt.

使用(和)圆括号(就像数学中的用法)将修饰符应用到子表达式。

Otherwise, the modifier will apply only to the last element if the entity expands to a list. Similar issues affect an element entity in a sequence.

否则，如果实体扩展成列表，修饰符将只对最后那个元素起作用。
