被动语态宾语的定语

In the U.S. , however, it is taken as a sign of competence to solve a problem, or fulfill a job successfully, with rapidity.

1. to solve a problem, or fulfill a job successfully 在这句中可以看做是 competence 的定语吗?

2. To solve a problem, or fulfill a job successfully is taken as a sign of competence. 转换成这种形式 to 不定式就是做主语了？

In the U.S., however, it is taken as a sign of competence to solve a problem, or fulfill a job successfully, with rapidity.

【翻译】然而在美国，它被认为是一种快捷而有效地解决问题或完成工作的能力标志。

【分析】

it is taken as a sign of competence to solve a problem, or fulfill a job successfully, with rapidity. = 变成主动语态：

people take it as a sign of competence to solve a problem, or fulfill a job successfully, with rapidity.

1. 动词不定式 to solve a problem, or fulfill a job successfully, with rapidity 是“真实主语”，or 是并列连词，连接两个不定式。 it 是“形式主语”。

2. 变成主动语态后，就好理解了。那么，it 就是“形式宾语”，to solve a problem, or fulfill a job successfully, with rapidity 就是“真实宾语”。

3. take ... as ...，把......看作。

4. a sign of competence，能力的标志

你自己已经证明了to solve a problem, or fulfill a job successfully是真正主语了。因此，不该认为不定式是competence的定语。主动语态时句子结构是这样的：

Sb take A as B 某人认为A是B。通常的句子分析是：A为宾语，as B合起来视为宾语补足语。

当宾语为to do不定式时，必须使用形式宾语it，然后将不定式后移至as B（宾补）之后，形成了这样的结构：

Sb take it as B to do sth. (A=it及to do) it为形式宾语，as B为宾补，to do为真正宾语。

这个结构改为被动语态则为：

It is taken as B to do sth. It为形式主语，is taken为被动语态谓语，as B为主语补足语，to do sth为真正主语。
