觉得这里bent on doing是过去分词短语做后置定语,修饰前面的scientist~
这种定语 可以看成你文中说的“Like a scientist who is bent on making a discovery, ......., 省去了 who is ”
“就像一个致力于发现的科学家,他必须抱有希望,有一天他会得到充分的回报。”
新概念3,第34课, A happy discovery 里有一句: Like a scientist bent on making a discovery, he must cherish the hope that one day he will be amply rewarded.
此句中跟在 a scientist 后面的 bent on doing 怎么理解?
有个固定搭配是 be bent on, 这里是不是 Like a scientist who is bent on making a discovery, ......., 省去了 who is ?
