比如:They have a heated debate on how a risk should be treated.
粗体部分算debate的状语呢还是debate的后置定语?谢谢!
They have a heated debate on how a risk should be treated.
【分析】They主语, have 谓语动词, a heated debate 宾语, on...是debate的后置定语, how a risk should be treated 是宾语从句,作介词 on 的宾语。They have a heated debate on ... 可以翻译为:“他们热烈讨论[争论] ......”
