his eyes fell on a small crab that stood before him with its claws up as if it were listening to what he said.
这里的its claws是名词,后面的up怎么理解?
His eyes fell on a small crab that stood before him with its claws up as if it were listening to what he said.
with its claws up:
1. 名称:叫做“with 复合结构”。
2. 构成:with + 宾语 + up (副词作宾补)
2. 作用:作方式状语,修饰定语从句的谓语动词 stood,说明“站立的方式”。它不可能隔着谓语动词去修饰 crab,不是定语。
又如:
The proud girl walked away with her head up. (方式状语)
