有一道填空题:
Thousands of people were killed and many more left _________ (home) by the earthquake.
答案是填形容词homeless,但为什么不是副词homelessly呢?这里不是用于修饰动词left吗?为什么不用副词来修饰呢?谢谢解答!
此处之所以要填形容词homeless,是因为此处的真正结构是leave sb homeless(使某人处于无家可归的状态),由于句中为被动式,故导致了left与homeless用在一起。换句话说,句中的homeless其实是补语(在leave sb homeless中是宾补,在其被动式中是主补)。
Thousands of people were killed and many more (were) left homeless by the earthquake. 有成千上万的人死于地震,无家可归的更不计其数。
