你好,我想请教一下以下句子的语法结构:
It's currently home to 2,500 people, all but a handful of them indigenous Inuit.
It's currently home to 2,500 people, all but a handful of them indigenous Inuit.
be home to是由系词be+不可数名词home和介词to构成的习语,意为“容纳、为。。。所在地、发源地”,可以翻译为居住着。可以将be home to视为及物动词后接宾语,也可按主系表结构分析。逗号之后为独立主格结构。all为主格代词,but为介词“除了”,but a handful of them介词短语作all的定语。indigenous Inuit为名词短语作独立主格结构的述谓部分。
翻译:这个地方目前居住着2500人,其中除了极少数人外都是土生土长的依努特人。

It's currently home to 2,500 people, all but a handful of them indigenous Inuit. =
At present, it's home to 2,500 people, and all are indigenous Inuitbut except a handful of them.
【说明】
1. all but a handful of them indigenous Inuit:是独立主格结构。只有“主 + 表”部分,系动词are 不能要。如果加上are 也可以,那就要改动一下句子,变成并列句:
It's currently home to 2,500 people, and all but a handful of them are indigenous Inuit.
2. 网友的翻译有误,应为:...除了少部分人外,几乎都是土著因纽特人。but = except
3. 译文中“其中”二字多余,去掉。
