请问老师:
Enraged by Entergy's behavior, the Vermont Senate voted 26 to 4 last year against allowing an extension.
26 to 4与下句的121 to 16如何分析?
Congress voted 121 to 16 to pass the bill.
to pass the bill为结果状语吗?
vote for or against sb/sth. vote to do sth. 结构中中,vote均为不及物动词。例如《韦氏高阶》在不及物动词vote项下有这样的例句:
Congress voted 121 to 16 to pass the bill.
由此可知,121 to 16 肯定不是宾语,而是状语。至于是什么状语,你可以自己去理解。我觉得可以分析为方式状语,即以怎样的票数通过了法案。COCA语料库有by介词短语替换ratio的例句,而by介词短语可以分析为方式状语。即以压倒多数通过,或以微弱优势通过。COCA例句如下:
… and they voted by a whopping 71-27 percent majority for Obama.
At the 2012 state convention, the delegates voted by a large margin not to make any judicial endorsements.
It's only six months since we voted by a 7-point margin to retain our GOP governor.
