英语中宾语和状语前置问题
请问老师，在经济学人里，看到这样一句话：What the effort seemed to lack in urgency it made up for in penny pinching. 这个what引导的从句是不是从made up for后面移到前面来的？
还有一句话是：Trying to reduce the amount of drugs she had almost never worked.
"Trying to reduce the amount of drugs"是不是状语放在前面？

What
the effort seemed to lack in urgency it made up for in penny pinching.
我们昨天在群里讨论过这句（有兴趣的网友可以加群：247157188，群名：柯帕斯英语网）。网友说得对。这句话为宾语从句前置，表示强调，也防止歧义。make up for 是及物动词短语，其宾语是 what 引导的宾语从句 What the
effort seemed to lack in urgency。其中
it 指代 the
effort。还原：The effort
made up for what it seemed to lack in urgency in penny pinching. 还原后读者可能会以为 in penny pinching 是
lack 的状语。
同样来自《经济学人》的句子，网友可以尝试还原一下：What China
lacks in oil and gas supplies it makes up for with industrial policy, which it
has long been using to support domestic coal production and nuclear power as
well as what is now by far the world’s largest renewables sector.
Trying
to reduce the amount of drugs she had almost never worked.
这句中间有个定语从句 she had，关系代词
that/which 在定语从句中做宾语，省略了。Trying to
reduce the amount of drugs 是动名词短语作主语，不是状语。
