She is a born singer好理解,born是形容词在singer前作定语,可She is a singer born中的born怎么理解呢?请老师帮忙分析一下。还有一个问题,写成She was born a singer后a singer是什么成分,是主语补足语吗
当born作形容词表示“天生的,生来就.....的”的意义时,常用来作前置定语,偶尔作后置定语。葛传槼《英语惯用法词典》(2012年版,P.84)有如下说明:
3.下面三句的意思都是“他是天生的演说家”:
He was born an orator.
He is a born orator.
He is an orator born.
说明:第一句用过去时态,an orator作主语补足语。第二句born作前置定语较常见。第三句born作后置定语较少见。
至于She was born a singer,你的理解是对的,a singer是主语补足语。
