There was always music on in my house when I was little.
这里的on是副词表示持续性吗?那它是修饰名词music吗?如果它是修饰名词music的,为什么这里可以修饰呢?
My dad asked me to deejay at the restaurant he owned.
own在这里是及物动词“拥有”的意思。那它后面为什么没有加宾语呢?
1. There was always music on in my house when I was little.
on 是副词作 music 的后置定语。相当于一个定语从句 which/that was on。此时,on 的含义是“(指活动)在进行中”。又如:
Let's go to the cinema— there's a good film on this week. (on 是副词作定语,不是介词,this week 不需要介词,而且也不能用on )
咱们去看电影吧,本周在上映一部好片子。《牛津词典》
2. My dad asked me to deejay at the restaurant he owned.
黑体为定语从句,省略了作宾语的关系代词。说明 owned 是及物动词,是有宾语的。这里,own 应翻译为 “开办”(父亲开的餐馆)。不宜翻译为 “拥有”,过于局限了它的词义。
