Cramped airline seats are a top complaint of air travelers these days.
前提:一定是在句子所有词都不变换的前提下,只把介词定语of air travelers变化成其他可能的介词短语进行修饰complaint.谢谢老师的回答。
complaint是由动词complain转变而来的名词。air travellers是原来动词的逻辑主语。of介词在此虽然是定语,但表示的是逻辑主谓关系。和of这种用法类似的介词有by(表示动作发出者)和from(表示来源,来自于...)。但在此句中,用by或from替换of,在意义上似乎可行,但在实际语言中似乎又很少会有人这么说。
a top complaint by passengers
a top complaint from business people
a top complaint to the airlines
a top complaint above all
a top complaint among all the complaints

句中的of宜改为from或among。如:
The top complaint from Internet users was property prices going beyond affordability.网民们最大的抱怨是房地产价格高居不下,超过人们的实际承受能力。
The road-works caused much complaint among local residents. 修路引起周围居民很多怨言。
▲《英语介词习语词典》有如下解释:
抱怨、控诉的内容、诉说患何种病,用of表示(例如:complain of a headache主诉头疼,complaint of the cold抱怨寒冷,complaint of illtreatment控诉虐待)。
对抱怨的事物更为概括的陈述,则用about(例如:She is continually complaining about the neighbours.他不断抱怨邻居。English people are always complaining about the weather.英国人总是抱怨天气)。向谁诉苦,则用to表示,例如:The costomer complained to the manager of the discourtesy of an assiistant.顾客向经理控告一个营业员失礼。
complain[名词]同样接用上述各介词。也可以说:A complaint is made or lodged against a person.控告某人。
▲《朗文当代英语词典》有如下解释:
