Some people don’t know the courtesies due an old man.
due an old man 是后置定语,由形容词 due 引导。这样理解对吗?
谢邀答。是的,理解是对的,due an old man是形容词短语作后置定语,修饰courtesies。
查查字典就可以解决的:due这个词当“应得的,应有的”这层意思讲的时候是个表语形容词。
“某人应得某物”,可以说sb is due for sth,也可以省掉for,直接说sb is due sth,如:An old man is due (for) courtesies. 同样,“某物是某人应得的”,可以说sth is due to sb,也可以省掉to,直接说sth is due sb. 如:Courtesies are due (to) an old man.
Some people don’t know the courtesies due an old man.=Some people don’t know the courtesies (that are) due (to) an old man.
Some people don’t know the courtesies due(to) an old man.
解答如下:以上句子漏掉1个介词“to” due to an old man为形容词短语作后置定语,修饰前面名词courtesies。
Some people don't know the courtesies due to an old man.(形容词短语作后置定语)
Some people don't know the courtesies which are due to an old man.(定语从句作后置定语)
参考译文:一些人不知道一个老人应该得到的礼貌。
