曹老师您好,刚刚有个问题没有提完整,另开了一个问题:
看到老师以前对一个问题的回答:
“当enough直接作主语、宾语、表语或宾补时,通常enough被认为是代词。
This(主语), and the good archbishop's impressively prominent nose(插入语), might be thought(被动语态谓语) more than enough for his peers to have nicknamed him 'nosy Parker'.(主语补足语,中心词为代词enough)
这个句子改为主动语态,基本结构为:
People (主语)might think(谓语) this(宾语) enough for his peers to have nicknamed him "nosy Parker".(宾语补足语)
enough就是代词作宾补,enough本身又被more than前置修饰表示程度,被for sb to do sth不定式复合结构修饰表示结果。
enough常被for介词短语或to do不定式修饰。传统语法将这种修饰关系称为状语。不定式可以分析为enough的结果状语、程度状语或方面状语,应根据具体上下文做出判断。
现代语法认为状语是分句层次的成分,词组层次不存在状语,故称enough的修饰语为补足语complement.”
老师我对此产生了疑问:对于more than enough to do...,如果enough为代词的话,那么前面的副词可以修饰代词?后面的to do不定式/介词短语作状语可以修饰代词?
《韦氏高阶》在代词enough项下的例句:
enough作表语。
The crowds are enough of a problem as it is without having to worry about parking as well!
It's enough to drive you crazy!
That's enough, young lady! [=stop behaving or talking in that way]
《牛津》在代词enough项下的例句:
Six bottles should be enough. 作表语。
《韦氏高阶》采用的是传统语法体系;《牛津》采用的是现代语法体系。
由此可知,无论传统语法还是现代语法,当enough作表语时,都分析为代词。
按照现代语法分析,无论enough是限定词、代词还是副词,后接不定式或for介词短语都是enough的补足语。
按照传统语法分析,enough为形容词或副词时,其后的不定式或for介词短语为状语。enough为代词时,其后的不定式或介词短语为定语,尽管在语义上不定式或介词短语表示结果意义或程度意义,但语法上为定语,不再是状语,这是由传统语法给定语或状语下的定义决定的。
