需要讨论的句子
The dress is buttoned on the right side, with a loose chest, a fitting waist, and slits up from the side, all of which combine to set off the beauty of the female shape.
这里的不定式to set off是否是目的状语?
我认为原句中的combine是个静态动词,这里to set off并非目的状语,而是combine to do这个搭配(当然这里的to do是什么成分暂不讨论)。如果要使得这里的to set off短语化身为目的状语,应该改写句子,例如Designers combine all of which to set off…这里combine会从静态动词转化为动态动词。
以上是我的看法,请各位老师指正。
