然而，(1)的模棱两可比李的解释所暗示的更令人惊讶。首先，鉴于辛普森定律，这是令人惊讶的，该定律指出，结果定语是由对象决定的，无论是表面对象还是底层对象(Simpson 1983：144)；在(1)中，似乎只有nei-pi ma‘那匹马’才是可能的对象，因此，在对(1ii)的解释中，句子应该被去掉。(我们将在下面的第2节讨论辛普森定律。)同时，(1)中的歧义也是例外的，因为一般而言，中国人遵守辛普森定律，像(1)这样的例子相当罕见。考虑(2)。
However, the ambiguity of (1) is more surprising than Li's explanation suggests. For a start, it is surprising in view of Simpson's Law, which states that 'resultative attributes are predicated of OBJECTS, whether surface OBJECTS or underlying OBJECTS' (Simpson 1983:144); in (1), only nei-pi ma 'that horse', it seems, is a likely OBJECT, and as a consequence, in the interpretation of (1ii), the sentence should be out. (We will discuss Simpson's Law in section 2 below.) At the same time, the ambiguity in (1) is also exceptional as in general Chinese does abide by Simpson's Law and examples like (1) are quite rare. Consider (2).
