This is only new edtion ever to be undertaken since NCE was originally published.
ever to be undertaken 是什么意思?表示“曾经被担任的”?
初来乍到,没有鲜花,谢谢帮忙!
only前是否漏掉了限定词the?
句意:这是自“新概念英语”最初出版以来所做的唯一一个新改版。undertake表“着手;进行”。
表语new edition之后的不定式ever to be undertaken用作定语,相当于限制性定语从句。
关于不定式作定语,《牛津英语用法指南》有如下说明:
1. 最高级之后可跟动词不定式结构。其意义与限制性关系从句类似。
He’s the oldest athlete ever to win an Olympic gold medal. (= … who has ever won…) 他是奥运会金牌得主中年纪最大的一位。
2. 常与这种结构连用的词还有first, second, third 等以及 next, last 和 only。
Who was the first person to climb Qomolangma without oxygen? 第一个不带氧气登上珠穆朗玛峰的人是谁?
The next to arrive was Mrs Patterson. 接着来的是帕特森太太。
She is the only scientist to have won three Nobel prizes. 她是唯一一位获得三次诺贝尔奖的科学家。
