Millions of people rushed to California, ________ that they would find gold and become rich.
A convincing B convinced
请问这里为什么用被动ed?
这句话相当于是这样的:
Millions of people rushed to California, where they are convinced that they would find gold and become rich.
convince (vt. 说服; 使确信,使信服 ) 是使役动词,主动使用时人是宾语,人是主语是就要是被动的了, 就是 they (people)are convinced。"人们被说服" 。
凡是使役动词都是这样的,人做主语要被动。
非限制性定语从句中的关系代词和定语从句中的主语及be动词可以一起省去,让句子简化,就成了你的考题的样子了。选B convinced.
译文:数以百万计的人涌向加利福尼亚,他们(被说服)相信在那里能找到黄金并致富。
