Re: [文法] 詞典裡頭用逗號連接consisted與varied?

: : 大家好，請問一下
: : 1.在Longman Idioms Dictionary的SPIRIT條目中，看到這樣的例句：
: : Albert's diet consisted of microwave meals, varied by cooking in a disgusting
: : frying pan when the spirit moved him.
: : 裡頭consisted和varied都是動詞，卻只用逗號連接，是否有誤呢？
: : 如果是分詞，就變成：
: : Albert's diet consisted of microwave meals which were varied by cooking in a
: : disgusting frying pan when the spirit moved him.
: 我覺得這邊的
: varied by cooking in a disgusting frying pan when the spirit moved him
: 應該是補充說 Albert's diet 偶爾會有的變化，
: 而不是後面的 microwave meals。
如果是microwave meals，那就是：
Albert's diet consisted of microwave meals, which were varied by cooking in a
disgusting frying pan when the spirit moved him.
如果是指Albert's diet consisted of microwave meals這件事，那就是：
Albert's diet consisted of microwave meals, which was varied by cooking in a
disgusting frying pan when the spirit moved him.
也就是which後面會有單、複數be動詞的差異。
: : 那我想再問，類似的結構：
: : Depending on where you ate, small orders of fries could vary by 110 calories
: : and by 320 milligrams of sodium.
: : 為何同樣是vary後面加by，前面那句用被動語態，後面那句則是主動語態呢？
: : 想釐清這兩句話的by的意思。
: : 謝謝！
感謝！
查了OALD線上版
http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/by_1?q=by
前面的那句的by應該是第二個意思：
used, usually after a passive verb, to show who or what does, creates or
causes something
後面的by則是第八個意思：
used to show the degree or amount of sth
翻譯大概是：
不同地點的餐廳，小份薯條的內容可能會有高達有110大卡熱量和320毫克鈉含量的差異。
以上是我的理解。謝謝！

補充國外網友的回應：
The version with "which was" doesn't work. The reader will mentally replace
"which" with microwave meals, which is plural.
