问题: 请选择答案并解释为什么?

The teachers are said to have moved to that _______building ,where they can work and live better than before.
A. brick newly-built red
B. red newly-built brick
C. newly-built red brick
D. red brick newly-built

解答:

选 C. newly-built red brick

象这样形容词的叠加,越"确定"的词,越靠近所修饰的名词.

"确定'的意思就是比较不会有异议.拿newly-built red brick 为例:

砖的,比较确定.没有人会认为是木头的,或水泥的..
红色的次之,也许有些色盲者会说不是红的(开玩笑...)
newly-built 就不怎么确定了,到底多少时间算新呢,因人而异
