Many of these individuals were faithful for years, sometimes decades. They seem to be well

balanced, mature, caring, and deeply invested in their relationship. Yet one day, they crossed a line they never imagined they would cross. For a glimmer of what?

问题:

invest 在文中是否为及物动词?省略了什么宾语?

刘老师的解答是正确的。

本句中,deeply invested in与前面的well balanced, mature, caring并列,都是 不定式to be的表语。所以invested是及物动词invest的过去分词演变而来的形容词,虽然词典没有收录这个形容词。

《韦氏学生词典》invest作及物动词词条下的释义和例句如下:

[+ object] : to give your time or effort in order to do something or make something better — usually + in

  • A lot of effort was invested in the project.

  • We need to invest more time in educating our children.

  • (chiefly US) She is deeply invested in this project [=she has given a lot of time and effort to this project and cares about it very much] and wants it to succeed.

红色字体的例句中谓语就是系表结构,不是被动语态,和你提问的句子中的invested的用法是一致的。

这个问题,我前面已解答过,怎么再次提出?难道不相信我的解答?

参见:http://ask.yygrammar.com/q-30113.html


They seem to be well balanced, mature, caring, and deeply invested in their relationship.

【翻译】他们似乎很和谐,成熟,有爱心,而且对他们之间的关系很投入。


分析句子,要总体观察句子结构,做到“瞻前顾后”。

句子前文是:be + adj.(3个),最后用了and 连接invested ,说明invested 也是个形容词(由invest 变来的过去分词性质的形容词,之前有deeply修饰)。由此看出,balanced, mature, caring, and invested:四个形容词作并列的表语。

The two answers made by both Teacher Liu and Teacher Cao are both right and the netizen is advised not to put the same question here for being answered for the second time .

Be noted that it is a waste of time answering the same question here.
