data shows的结构以及work+时间用法的分析

On top of education expenses, an average South Korean household must budget roughly 12.8 years of income to buy a mid-range home, compared to 8.8 years in 2014, data from KB Kookmin Bank shows. Adding to their stress, South Koreans work the third most hours per year among OECD nations, lagging just Mexico and Costa Rica. 

这里的data shows可以看做后面的that从句前置,是前面的整个句子吗?这里的work+时间是省略了介词,还是不及物动词+时间状语?

第一个问题,我用一个简单的例句说明。

一个主从复合句中,主句是主要信息,从句是次要信息。

I think that you are wrong. 突出 I think这个主句的信息。

You are wrong, I think.  You are wrong为主句,是主要信息。I think为插入语分句,为次要信息。

网友可用这种方法分析你的句子。


第二个问题,work 2000 hours per year中,2000 hours per year是宾语还是状语,不同词典有不同的理解。例如,《朗文》和《韦氏高级词典》认为这类时间名词是宾语。而《牛津》、《麦克米伦》则没有这种解释,即视时间名词为状语。

《朗文》 [intransitive, transitive] to do the activities and duties that are part of your job

work days/nights/weekends etc 

I get paid more if I work nights. 

We’re sometimes expected to work twelve-hour days.

《韦氏高级词典》: to do things as part of your job

[+ object]

  • He works about 60 hours a week.

  • The job requires that you work some nights and weekends.

  • She is used to working long hours.

所以,如果网友按照时间名词作宾语,也是有依据的。

第一问,是因为shows 的宾语太长而被前置。其次,也是为了突出宾语从句的内容。宾语前置,可以是单词、短语,从句。又如:

Few friends your new girlfriend has besides me.

Where or how this happened, no one knows exactly.

第二问,work the third most hours中,work 是不及物动词,the third most hours 是名词短语作时间状语。

【注意】表示“工作持续的时间”时,可用for:work for 6 hours

加上频度概念时,不用for:work 6 hours every day
