....., who remained isolated from one another by the primacy each held in her own salon.
为什么这里可以两个动词呢,是不是remain to 的 to 省略了?
还是说是什么结构?
■你的句子中的 isolated 为过去分词转化来的形容词,意思是“孤单的,孤独的”;另外,它还可表示“(建筑物、村庄等)孤零零的,偏僻的”。isolated 用作形容词的用法再如:
I felt very isolated in my new job. 我在新的工作岗位上觉得很孤立。
Many older people feel cut off and isolated. 许多老人感到与世隔绝,非常孤独。
The village is very isolated, there being no bus service. 村子很闭塞,因为没有公交线路。
■句子中的 remain 为系动词,isolated 在此用作形容词作表语。类似“reamin+过去分词转化来的形容词作表语”的结构又如:
Colonel Williams remained seated throughout. 威廉斯上校始终坐着。
Nicola remained devoted to her sister. 尼古拉始终热爱妹妹。
For their part, the garrison remained determined to defend the fort. 卫戌部队就他们自己而言,仍然决心守卫要塞。
They remained convinced that they were on the right course. 他们仍然确信他们的方向是正确的。
