The price Roosevelt paid in the end was to discredit Churchill in the eyes of their joint Polish allies, to concede Russia rights over territory in sovereign China which were not America’s to grant, but ultimately to assure that the repossession of Japan’s conquests in the Pacific would not be bought at the cost of American lives alone.
本句中黑体的定语从句部分中,是否是动词不定式修饰名词性物主代词?这个句式是否类似于:this job is mine to do.?不定式可以用来修饰名词性物主代词吗?
希望老师解答,谢谢!
The momey is sb's to spend.
属格名词或代词作be的表语,后接不定式,不定式的逻辑主语为句子的主语。这是《剑桥英语语法》介绍的使用悬空不定式的结构之一。展开一下结构,你就明白这个不定式为什么是悬空结构。
The money is sb's money which he can spend.
作表语的属格名词或名词性物主代词隐含了一个名词,这个名词与作主语的名词一致。属格名词或名词性物主代词展开后则为限定词+名词。例如这个结构中的Tom's=Tom's money,mine=my money. 后接作定语的不定式。限定词隐含不定式的逻辑主语,名词隐含不定式的逻辑宾语。所以后接的不定式不可能再有宾语,必须是悬空不定式。
