[文法] of + interest

[dadadodo (打打&抖抖)]

Although relatively long-lived for insects, many flies are of interest

in that they have an adult life span of but a few days.


想請問板上大大:

1. of + interest 怎麼使用??

  有人說 of interest = interesting (形容詞)

  但在這裡把interesting替代 of interest 似乎不太對 @@...



2. 這句話又是什麼意思 @@?? 我看不太懂後半段的文法...

   "an adult life span of but a few days".

   該不會又是題目錯誤吧??


謝謝解答!!!
