to+be+adj

Many of us,in our desperate drive to be successful and care for our many responsibilities feel terrible guilt.

在这个句子里,是不是to同时接“be successful"和”care for our many responsibilites"

另外,不定式to be successful在此是否是作后置定语修饰drive.

to+be+adj也可以作定语修饰名词吗?

Many of us, in our desperate drive to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, feel terrible guilt.

【翻译】在渴望追求成功还要顾及承担许多责任的努力中,我们很多人会感到十分的内疚(有深深的负罪感)。

【分析】关键是这个介词短语的理解:in our desperate drive to be successful and care for our many responsibilities。

1. to be successful 和 care for our many responsibilities两个不定式作定语,修饰名词drive。

2. drive的意思是:欲望,冲动;努力,动力。desperate drive就是“极其渴望,极其努力”。

3. in our desperate drive to do sth. 类似于:in our attempt to do sth. 结构。例如:

We have already made considerable progress in our attempt to explore the universe about us.  在探索周围世界的努力中,我们已经取得了重大的进步。

4. to be successful是系表结构的不定式,同样可以作定语。例如:

His wish to be an actor has come true. 他想当演员的愿望实现了。

If he's lazy, he'll never fulfil his ambition to be a doctor.  如果他懒惰,他将永远也不会实现成为医生的抱负。
