Looking into the drawing room, she saw a scene of confusion over by her writing desk.

請問這里的副詞over

是 修飾confusion

還是 修飾by

還是 修飾she saw a scene of confusion

Looking into the drawing room, she saw a scene of confusion over by her writing desk.

【翻譯】她向客廳里望去，看見寫字臺旁邊那兒一片混亂。

over 是個“方位副詞”，表示離說話人一段距離的某個地方，用作名詞的后置定語。就本句而言，over 作定語修飾 a scene of confusion，它跟by her writing desk 分別作定語。又如：

Finally I spotted it, in a dark corner over by the piano. （本句，over 和by the pianao 作定語，分別修飾 corner。）

最后我在鋼琴旁的陰暗角落里發現了它。

除此之外，地址方位副詞作后置定語，修飾名詞，是英語中經常見到的現象。比如：

地址副詞（here，there, over there, in，out，up，down，below，above，upstairs，downstairs，indoors，outdoors，等）可作定語，一般要后置。

The building there looks very grand.那邊的那座樓看著非常壯觀。
