inspired的修饰对象

The tropically-inspired color choice also deliberately evokes undersea coral reefs.

以ed为后缀的形容词不是通常来形容人或者生物的主观感觉,怎么这里用来修饰物?

inspire作为及物动词,除了以人做宾语,用于inspire sb, inspire sb to do sth 句型外,还可以用something作宾语。《韦氏学生词典》对此的释义和例句如下:

2

: to cause (something) to happen or be created

  • His discoveries inspired a whole new line of scientific research.

  • Her first novel was inspired by her early childhood.

: to cause someone to have (a feeling or emotion)

  • The news inspired hope that the war might end soon.

  • His unusual management style does not inspire confidence. [=it makes people worry about his ability to manage properly]

网友句子中的 Tropically-inspired choice 就是上面第二义的过去分词与副词tropically构成的合成形容词。其中choice与inpired为被动关系。

The tropically-inspired color choice also deliberately evokes undersea coral reefs.

【翻译】受热带特色而激发出来的色彩选择,也着意让人联想到海底的珊瑚礁。

注意:inspired 是由过去分词变来的形容词。被其修饰的词语不仅限于“人”,而且可以是“物”。例如:

VERB 激起,唤起(某种感情或反应)

Someone or something that inspires a particular emotion or reaction in people makes them feel this emotion or reaction.

例句:

The car's performance quickly inspires confidence. 

该汽车的性能会很快唤起驾驶者的信心。
