The retirement age, which is now at 62, and re-employment age, 67, are set to be raised, though the exact timing of the changes and by how much have yet to be determined, the country’s Minister of Manpower Josephine Teo said in parliament on Tuesday.
问题一:这里解析把which is now at 62认为是the retirement age的同位语从句,我认为应该是非限制性定语从句。
问题二:这里认为by how much后面省略了they will be raised, 这里by how much是应该是在做状语表示程度吗,how much是疑问限定词+代词吗?
问题三:yet这里作为副词强调还未,这里have to作为情态动词整体看吗?

【答】网友的理解正确,原解析错误。
问题二:这里认为by how much后面省略了they will be raised, 这里by how much是应该是在做状语表示程度吗,how much是疑问限定词+代词吗?
【答】这是“疑问副词(how) + 程度副词(much)” 引导的主语从句(主语从句不完整,省略了网友所说的成分),by how much 指“提高的幅度”。
how much 询问程度的例句:
How much does it matter?
How much do you know about him?
问题三:yet这里作为副词强调还未,这里have to作为情态动词整体看吗?
【答】have yet to do 表示“尚未做某事;需要做某事”。下面,我重点讲解这个问题。
副词yet 跟否定句连用,表示“尚未,还没有,有待于”。但是,为什么放在不定式之前,与肯定句连用也表示“尚未;还没有”呢?
除了have yet to do,还有一个是be yet to do。其实,这都是不定式表示的动作“尚未发生”的缘故,加了yet 之后更加强调了“尚未发生”的意思。have to do 表示“必须做;不得不做”,本身指“将来”。be to do 也是“将来时”的一种。
have to do 例句:
I have yet to hear your explanation. 我还没听到你的解释。
You have yet to chat with your daughter today. 你今天还没有跟女儿聊聊!
Some specific problems have yet to be solved. 还有一些具体问题要解决。
Certain questions have yet to be clarified. 有些问题还需要弄清楚。
be to do 例句:
His new album is yet to be named. 他这张新专辑的名称待定。
The worst of the storm is yet to come. 最猛烈的暴风雨就要来了。
The cut-off date for registering is yet to be announced. 还没有宣布登记的截止日期。
The really interesting part of the show is yet to come. 好戏还在后头。
我们知道,have to do(得干某事),不定式表示将来的事情;be to do(将来时的一种类型),不定式也表示将来安排计划做的事情。所以,将来做的事情,就意味着“尚未做,还没有做,有待于做”。
▲yet用在不定式之前表示“否定”,除了上述情况外,还有其他情况。例如:
一、yet跟动词不定式作定语连用:(不定式作定语也意味着将要发生)
1. She has many places yet to visit on her itinerary. 在她的行程表上她还有许多地方要去参观。
2. For us, there are many dreams and ideas yet to be fulfilled. 我们有许多的梦想和想法还没有实现。
二、yet跟动词不定式作结果状语跟连用:
1. It is too soon yet to look for results. 现在便期望有结果为时尚早。
2. It's too early yet to tell about the offspring. 将此事告诉后代人还为时过早。
三、yet跟动词不定式作目的状语跟连用:
1. You should know the mission remains yet to be accomplished.你应该知道任务还没有完成。
2. One peculiarity of the child's behavior remains yet to be told. 这孩子的举止上还有一个特点也要说一说。

参考译文:该/这个国家的人力部部长Josephine Teo于星期二在国会上说,目前62岁的退休年龄和67岁的返聘年龄将被上调,但是调整的确切时间还有待决定/确定。
重点结构解析如下:
(1)which is not at 62是the retirement age同位语
(2)67是re-employment age的同位语
(3)the retirement age and the re-employment age为句子主语,are set to be raised为句子谓语。(raise vt.增加,提高,上调)
(4)by how much 后面省略“they will be raised”
(5)the exact timing of the changes and by how much(they will be raised省略了)是连词后面的2个并列主语,谓语是“have yet to be determined”
(6)have yet to be done还有待被做某事(yet起强调作用)
