Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers
become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely
not.
上面一段摘自2021年高考的全国甲卷(全国2卷)的阅读理解D。这里的动词 become 的主语呢?感觉句子结构不完整吧!
这个 become 不是谓语动词,它哪来的主语啊!这里的 become 是省略 to 的不定式,用于动词 have(使)后作宾补,它前面的 any great thinkers 是它的逻辑主语。have sb become 的意思是“使某人变得”:
Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not. 我们的星球能承受得起让任何伟大的思想家气馁和放弃的后果吗?知道答案并不需要天才:绝对不会。
