It is now an entertainment colossus the size of which the world has never seen.
这里的the size of…在句子里做什么成分,为什么直接加在了名词colossus后面?
It is now an entertainment colossus the size of which the world has never seen.
the size of which the world has never seen 为定语从句,修饰名词entertainment colossus。关系代词指代entertainment colossus,在从句中作介词of的宾语,of介词短语作定语修饰the size. the size of which 作has never seen的宾语。由于要引导定语从句,所以the size of which必须置于从句之首。
它现在是一个巨大的娱乐场所,其规模是史无前例的。

It(主语)// is(系动词)// now an entertainment colossus(表语)// the size of which the world has never seen(修饰表语后置定语:定语从句从当).
参考译文:它现在是一个巨大的娱乐场所,其规模是世界以前从来没有出现过的。
备注:关系代词which代替先行词“an entertainment colossus”并在定语从句作介词“of”宾语或者说属于“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句
entertainment colossus the size of which the world has never seen
=an entertainment colossus of which the size the world has never seen
上面的定语从句可以转换为下面几种定语从句结构
It is now an entertainment colossus the size of which the world has never seen.(the size of which作定语从句谓语has seen的宾语)
=(1)It is now an entertainment colossus of which the size the world has never seen.(of which the size作定语从句谓语has seen的宾语)
=(2)It is now an entertainment colossus whose size the world has never seen.
(whose size作定语从句谓语has seen的宾语)
