请问: kind of可以修饰表语吗?
之前看到过: He is kind of a fool.
请老师稍加解释一下,谢谢!
牛津双解词典:
Kind of=slightly; to some extent.
He is kind of a fool. 他有点像个傻子/他是个傻子。
Kind of多用于口语表达,软化句子,很多时候可以不翻译。
He is kind of a fool. (错误)
He is kind of fool.(正确,kind of 修饰作表语的形容词 fool)
He is a kind of fool.(正确,fool 是名词, a kind of 表示“一种”)
