When smaller neighbours complain that this country is threatening them, its security folk are convinced that America must have put the tiddlers up to it.The way they tell it, when this country acts tough it is in self-defence, showing that it cannot be pushed around.
老师好,问题一:put the tiddlers up to it怎么理解?
问题二:The way they tell it, when this country acts tough it is in self-defence, showing that it cannot be pushed around. 请老师帮我划分这个句子的成分……
1 put sb up to sth: 唆使某人做某事。tiddlers 小鱼,此处指小国。it指代when从句的内容,即毗邻的小国抱怨这个国家威胁他们这件事。
2 The way they tell it方式状语从句, when this country acts tough时间状语从句 it is in self-defence主系表结构, showing that it cannot be pushed around.分词短语作补充性状语,分词的逻辑主语为主句内容。
When smaller neighbours complain that this country is threatening them, its security folk are convinced that America must have put the tiddlers up to it.The way they tell it, when this country acts tough it is in self-defence, showing that it cannot be pushed around.
翻译:当周边小国抱怨这个国家对他们构成威胁时,该国的安全人士确信一定是美国唆使这些国家这样做的。按照这些安全人士的说法,当这个国家采取果断措施时,它是在自卫,它不能任人摆布。

问题一:put the tiddlers up to it 怎么理解?
put up:提出
tiddlers:小把戏
to it:针对它
词组的意思是:针对此放出这些小把戏来。
问题二:The way they tell it, when this country acts tough it is in self-defence, showing that it cannot be pushed around. 请老师帮我划分这个句子的成分……
the way = as (正如),The way they tell it = As they tell it (正像他们所言)方式状语。
【直观分析】
The way they tell it(方式状语), when this country acts tough (时间从句)it is in self-defence(主句), showing that it cannot be pushed around.(现在分词作结果状语)
The way they tell it, when this country acts tough it is in self-defence, showing that it cannot be pushed around.
【翻译】如他们所言,当这个国家表现强硬时,它是出于自卫,这表明它不可以被推来推去(被人随便驱使)。
