看到一个句子。
Managers see technology as vital to continued growth 管理层认为技术是持续发展的关键。
请问其中的as vital的性质和所做成分。
如果vital的位置换成a key 的话我可以理解,as a key介词短语做宾补(或看成修饰see的状语),to continued growth介词短语做定语修饰key。
但是vital是个形容词,as vital是介词+形容词,这是什么东西?然后to continued growth介词短语又在修饰什么东西?总不能是做状语修饰vital吧?
类似还有比如 Don't take it for granted,无法理解介词+形容词是什么东西。
谢过大大。
(请回答问题的大大不要用"...是特殊/固定搭配"或者"就把它当做..."等句式,那样等于没说。我不要强行把vital看做名词,而要正确的解答,因为Vital只有做名字用时才是名词性的)
see/regard/describe/view/etc. + sb/sth+ as (being)+形容词/过去分词
这种句型中as为介词,后接名词、动名词。如果动名词为being时,being常被省略,所以可以见到as除了后接名词和动名词外,还可以后接形容词或过去分词的现象。至于为什么动名词的being可以省略,可能与as+后接部分常被分析为宾补,而形容词和过去分词都可以作宾补,受这种分析方法的影响,being就被省略了。实际上being不省略的情况也是存在的。例如以下COCA语料库例句:
I can't help but see him as being overly strict.
He is smart; people see him as being thoughtful about complex issues.
Many Hindus love Jesus and his teachings, but they don't see him as being unique.
I could see him as being quite scary.
I also think a lot of people see him as being victimized.
She did not see him as being quiet and still.
虽然通常语法书把as短语分析为宾补,其实as短语按照与宾语有关的方式状语来分析也是可以的, 即主语比宾语当作...来看待或加以描述等。当然按照宾补分析更为简单。

Managers see technology as vital to continued growth.
1. 这是 see 接复合宾语。为: see + 宾语 + as adj. 结构。 其中,as adj. 作宾语补足语。这是 as 后省略成分的结果。
关于这个结构,不是个别现象,而是一种格式,我们称为“认定类动词 + 复合宾语”(其中 as + n./adj./-ing/-ed/...,作宾补)。
2. vital to continued growth. 是“(be) vital to sth.” 结构。跟 be important to sth. 是一样的结构。
3. continued growth 是名词前加了一个定语而已。continued 是分词形容词作定语。
从提问中,看得出网友要求很高。不过,英语表达自有其规律,没必要过分苛刻,都要解答老师说出个所以然来。
