各位老师好,下面这个句子:
In many ways, they are the luckiest group of young adults ever to have existed.
为什么要用to have existed,用having existed 不行么?
谢谢老师。
不可以。“现在分词完成体” 不能作定语,也不能作宾补。作定语可以使用不定式的完成体。本句不定式完成体作young adults 的定语。
不定式完成体作定语举例:
There is no need to have bought a new pair of shoes for me.
没有必要给我买一双新鞋。
She's the only woman ever to have climbed Everest in winter.
她是唯一在冬天爬过埃佛勒斯峰的妇女。
不定式完成体作宾补举例:
They stated the diamond to have been stolen.
他们宣称钻石已被偷了。
