老师您好,对于这个句子 This means that our noses are limited to perceiving those smells which float through the air, ... 我的理解是宾语从句中are limited to perceiving为谓语,those smells为宾语。实义动词为perceive。
疑问:可不可以根据SVA句式,将are limited 作为谓语,to perceiving those smells理解为状语?limit不是及物动词吗?为什么后跟介词动名词?
麻烦老师回答一下我的问题。
our noses are limited to perceiving those smells which float through the air
这个宾语从句为被动语态。主动语态的结构为limit our noses to sth。把我们的鼻子(的嗅觉)限制在...的范围内。our noses为宾语,to介词短语为范围状语。改为被动语态后be limited后,limit的宾语作了主语,to介词短语仍然是范围状语。由于to是介词,所以后接动名词短语作介词to的宾语。
