the Lapita(某个人类种族) spread themselves a third of the way across the Pacific, then called it quits for reasons known only to them.
a third of the way across the Pacific这句话应该不是宾补吧,感觉是状语?但本质上是个名词啊,1/3的路程。
求助老师,只能很大概的理解含义,不能精确把握。
way表示时空距离时,虽然是名词,但不加介词,作状语。
如
You came all this way to see us?
其衍生结构依然如此
Fill a saucepan a third of the way with water
