Even our schools are where we send our children to get a practical education --not to pursue knowledge for the sake of knowledge.
这句话to get和not to pursue是并列的宾补,where引导的表语从句。但我想问可不可以where we send our children to get a practical education做schools的定语,然后not to pursue做这句话的谓语动词?
定语从句可不可以放在谓语动词后面?
希望老师予以解答
你在把where分析为定语从句时,有没有考虑主句的结构?主句 our schools are 是什么意思,你能解释清楚吗?如果你无法解释,你就应该老老实实地把where 从句分析为表语从句——你熟悉的结构。另外,not to pursue...为不定式短语。不定式可以做谓语动词吗?即使你把are not to pursue 看作谓语动词,这是不定式作表语还是be to do 结构?不定式作表语,主语应该为抽象名词,是对不定式动作对概括,主语在逻辑上等于表语,例如:My duty is to clean the office. My duty=to clean the office. 但你的句子中 our schools 不等于 to pursue. 所以排除不定式作表语。be to do 结构中主语为不定式的逻辑主语。例如:You are to come back before 9. 但 our schools 并不是 to pursue的逻辑主语。所以排除be to do结构。所以,逻辑关系决定了你不可以用are to pursue作谓语。where从句是表语从句,不是定语从句!
