dwq Posted December 28, 2017 at 01:11 AM Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 at 01:11 AM 数: to count, to enumerate The long-winded explanation: if you want to count 最为缤纷的 things, it follows (则) that you have to (要) include 看台 in the count. That implies 看台 is one of the best (possibly THE best). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred0 Posted December 28, 2017 at 02:14 AM Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 at 02:14 AM Thanks, that is very helpful. So should this be viewed as a topic-comment sentence, with 最为缤纷的 （the most vast things) as the topic and （you) 则要数 (must count {include}) 看台 as the comment?
