句子成分

1.下面对话中的to lie about it是修饰alive的还是are的？它表示的是结果意义还是什么意义？

A对C谈论B：See for yourself. He is a mess. Came home at dawn beaten half to death by coolies.

B对A说：I already told you they fared much worse by the time it was over. I was caught by surprise. That’s all.

A:The only surprise here is that you are still alive to lie about it.

2.How is it you propose to help, exactly?请问how is it是某种特殊的句型吗？好像没见过，并且you propose to help是什么成分，是主语从句吗？

1. The only surprise here is that you are still alive to lie about it.

——不定式 to lie about it 作状语，修饰整个谓语部分，也就是系表结构（are still alive），系表是谓语的组成部分，不可分离。不是单独修饰一个系动词，也不是单独修饰一个表语。本句，不定式作结果状语，“活到能撒谎”。意思是：唯一的惊喜是你还活着，还能撒谎。

2. How is it you propose to help, exactly?

——这是强调句的特殊疑问句式，问的是方式。意为：你到底打算怎么帮忙？

演变如下：

原句：I propose to help that way.

强调方式状语，变成强调句：It is that way I propose to help.

就 that way 提问：

How is it (that) you propose to help?
