Tired triggers crabby.
形容词不可能作主语或宾语。这里,两个形容词应该加引号,表示名词意义。
原句子:For students, less sleep also predicts more conflicts in friendships and romantic relationships (Gordon & Chen, 2014; Tavernier & Willoughby, 2014). Tired triggers crabby. In another survey, 28 percent of high school students acknowledged falling asleep in class at least once a week (National Sleep Foundation, 2006). 这个句子;来源于戴维斯的心理学P107.
大概的意思是:疲劳状态容易让人易怒,引发脾气的乖戾。
在这里tired 显然是形容词,而且也不是形容的名词化,后面的crabby 也是形容词。而trigger是动词。
这是什么用法呢?还是Tired 真的直接做名词用了?
