w大,照你的說法;你意思是說如果用單數A,那代表這些猩猩嬰兒共同擁有同一位母親,但這
好像不太對。應該是這些猩猩們分別只有一個母親才比較合理,不是嗎?

上面片語,應該是單個嬰孩有單個母親。不是複數母親。bb大是否筆誤了? :-)因為你上面
的片語是單數mother

大概整理一下 如果有誤請再跟我講
1. baby gorillas and their mother
一群小猩猩與那位生下他們的母猩猩
-->指一個猩猩家庭
2. baby gorillas and their mothers
一群小猩猩與生他們的母親們(沒有特別強調小猩猩
與母猩猩之間的個別親屬關係)
(mothers應該不會是指共同有親屬關係的母親團,因為母猩猩會認小孩
而小猩猩也會認母猩猩)
-->指一個猩猩部落中的小猩猩與母親猩猩
3. baby gorillas and their respective mothers
一群小猩猩與相對生下他們的母親們(有特別強調小猩猩
與母猩猩之間的個別相對的親屬關係)
-->指一個猩猩部落中的小猩猩與個別相對的母親猩猩
如果這樣講的話選B: mothers 是不是都講的通呢?
oald: respective的定義:
[only before noun] belonging or relating separately to each of the people or things already mentioned
They are each recognized specialists in their respective fields.
the respective roles of men and women in sociexXXXXXty
