我看到一个句子:
Here in Juno, a boat on Auke bay is the place to be to spot whales.
对这句话后半部分a boat…的表达方式以前没有见过,请帮助解释一下句子意义和分析语法结构。
句子主干为:a boat is the place to be
不定式to be短语为后置定语,be此时含义为 to be in a place。to spot whales则是to be的目的状语。
难点可能是为什么be后面没有诸如in之类的介词。因为place这个词有点特殊,place to do something里的动词可以是不及物的:
Is this a safe place to swim? (Macmillan)
I always think Italy would be a great place to live. (Macmillan)
We were looking for a place to eat. (Oxford)
a place to live/stay (Oxford)
