Rosario is about 300 kilometers northwest of Argentina's capital.

网友这个问题至今未见解答,我帮着解答一下。

一、这个句子很完整,不缺成分。它的主要结构是主系表结构,分析如下:

1. Rosario: 主语。

2. is: 系动词;词义相当于不及物动词lie,意为“坐落于”。

3. about 300 kilometers: 名词性短语,作程度状语,修饰表语部分。该部分如果省略,句子仍然完整。

4. northwest of Argentina's capital:介词短语,作表语。

二、【翻译】罗萨里奥坐落在阿根廷首都西北部的300公里处。

三、下面重点分析“方位副词 + of  + 地点名词”的用法,有3个问题需要讨论:

1. “方位副词 +  of  + 地点名词”,是个什么样的词组?

2. “方位副词 + of  + 地点名词”,在句子中能做什么成分?

3. northwest of Argentina's capital 表示:in the northwest of Argentina's capital,还是to the northwest of Argentina's capital?

下面分别论述这3个问题。

第1个问题:“方位副词 + of + 地点名词”,是个什么样的词组?

方位词一共有8个,之前有the 是名词,没有the 是副词。

“方位副词 + of  + 地点名词”,实际是一个of 介词短语,而在of 前加了方位副词,构成了一个含有副词修饰的介词短语,表示方位。例如:a railway north of the city 城北的一条铁路。

“方位副词 + of + 地点名词”结构也是8个:

“north of + 地点名词”

“south of + 地点名词”

“east of + 地点名词”

“west of + 地点名词”

“northeast of + 地点名词”

“northwest of + 地点名词”

“southeast of + 地点名词”

“southwest of + 地点名词”

第2个问题:“方位副词 + of + 地点名词”,在句中可以作什么成分?

可以做表语、定语和状语。下面以“north of + 地点名词” 为例列举:

【作表语】

The United States is north of the equator.美国位于赤道以北。

The lake is due north of the village.这个湖位于村庄的正北方。

Canada is north of the United States.加拿大在美国的北面。

The Olympic Stadium is north of the city centre.奥林匹克体育场在市中心的北部。

Behai Park is just north of the Forbidden City.北海公园就在故宫的北侧。

网友的这个句子就是该类型,只不过在“方位副词 + of  + 地点名词”之前加了一个名词性短语about 300 kilometers,说明在阿根廷首都西北部的距离多远。

【作定语】

The coast north of Vancouver has some of the oldest and most beautiful forests in the world. 温哥华北面的海岸上有着世界上最古老和最美丽的森林。

They lived in a village north of London.他们住在伦敦北部的一个村庄里。

All the states east of the Mississippi were connected during this decade.在这十年中,密西西比河以东的所有各州都连上了铁路。

The little plane came down at the old airport south of the town.小飞机在城南的飞机场降落了。

He and Mrs. Kessler live in a big house west of here.他和克斯勒太太住在西边的一栋大房子里。

【作地点状语】

The two roads meet just north of the city.两条马路就在城市的北面汇合。

I live north of Seattle and work around that area quite a bit.我住在西雅图北部,相当多的时间在那一带工作。

Edinburgh is a long way north of London.爱丁堡在伦敦北面很远的地方。

Lying north of the church is a girls' senior high school.位于这座教堂以北的是一所女子高中。

Just north of Germany lies the Baltic Sea.波罗的海位于德国正北面。

The hotel is situated two miles north of downtown.那家旅馆位于闹市区以北两英里处。

第3个问题:northwest of Argentina's capital:

表示 in the northwest of Argentina's capital 还是to the northwest of Argentina's capital?

根据事实,northwest of Argentina's capital 应该是to the northwest of Argentina's capital,因为罗萨里奥市不是阿根廷首都的一部分,而是单独一个城市。它不可能坐落于首都之内,不是城中城。

所以,“north (south, east, west) of + 地点名词”表示“在该地点名词的外部”,等于“to the north (south, east, west) of + 地点名词”。若表示在该地点名词的内部,则用“in the the north (south, east, west) of + 地点名词”。下面举一些常见的例句:

含有south of 的例句:

That village is 15 miles south of London.那个村庄位於伦敦以南十五英里处。

Troops are concentrating south of the river.军队正向河的南边集结。

South of the equator nights are longer than days.赤道以南地区黑夜比白天长。

Rosario is about 300 kilometers northwest of Argentina's capital .

【参考译文】

罗萨里奥位于阿根廷首都西北约300公里处。

【参考解析】

这句话可以改写为Rosario is about 300 kilometers to the northwest of Argentina's capital .

当方位短语在句子中用作表语或定语时,构成其前部分的介词in / to / on 以及定冠词 the

是共存亡的关系,此时我们可以看成省略或干脆把east/ west/ north等词看做副词。个人认为对于初学者可以不做过多词性分析,这对于通过比较把握这两种方位短语结构之间的关系有好处。

咱们可以参看一下现行高中人教版新课标教材必修三第5单元出现的两个句子:

 The coast north of Vancouver has some of the oldest and most beautiful forests in the world .在温哥华北部的海岸上保存着世界上最原始、最美丽的森林。

It's approximately four hundred kilometres northeast of Toronto, so it would take too long.它在多伦多东北方约400公里处,要去那儿花时间就太多了

应为:Rosario is about 300 kilometers to the northwest of Argentina's capital.

about 300 kilomerters修饰介词to。介词短语做表语,表示主语的位置。现代语法会认为be是不及物动词,介词短语地点状语。两种分析方法都可以。

补充

看了黎老师解答,确实northwest可以是副词,等于to, toward or in the northwest. 这样原句就不需再加to the. 原句正确。(但是加了to the也是正确的,而且更清楚。这时northwest是名词。)about 300 miles 仍然修饰副词northwest。

northwest可以是名词、形容词和副词。

northwest of London. 无论northwest是名词、形容词还是副词,都是中心词,of London介词短语后置修饰northwest。

在提问的句子中,northwest是一个副词词组带了两个修饰语,一个是前置修饰语about 300 miles,一个是后置修饰语of Argentina's capital.

按照传统语法,这个句子是主系表结构,be是系动词,方位副词做表语。

按照现代语法,这个句子是主动状结构,be是不及物动词,方位副词作状语。
