The elderly
residents in care homes in London
are being given hens to look after to
stop them feeling lonely.
上面一句摘自2022年高考英语新全国卷1的阅读理解C文。
请问句中两个连用不定式用作什么成分?
The elderly residents in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
第一个不定式是定语,修饰hens:hens to look after 在此表示“要照看的母鸡”。
第二个不定式是目的状语,指给这些老人要照看的母鸡,目的是为了不让他们感到孤独。
句意:伦敦养老院给母鸡让老人们去照顾,以防止他们感到孤独。
