call的用法

The sea is deep blue, and cannot be called smooth.

此句出自黄昏一文，请问老师，be called 后面不是加名词吗？为什么这里加了形容词。

call的语义之一为describe。《牛津词典》对此的英英释义为：[transitive] to describe somebody/something in a particular way; to consider somebody/something to be something

这种语义的call可以用形容词作宾补，call sb/sth +形容词。词典例句：

call somebody/something + adj.

Would you call it blue or green?

You could hardly call the show perfect, but it was successful.

这和你的句子结构是相同的。形容词作宾补。
