状语从句的省略（unless caught very young）

老师好。我今天看到一个句子。

A tiger cant be tamed unless caught very young.

我可以认为 unless 后面的 caught 是因为省略了it is，但是后面very young我就想不通了。应该不能还原成 unless it is caught when it is very young 吧？那岂不是相当于连when也省略了？谢谢老师！

A tiger cant be tamed unless caught very young.

= A tiger cant be tamed unless it is caught very young.

在 it is caught very young中，very young为形容词作状语。

例如： He died young. = when he died he was young.

We caught the tiger very young. = When we caught the tiger, it was very young.

这种结构通常分析为形容词作状语。

你这么理解是可以的，就是说除非它小时候被抓住。
