Did they follow those least willing to change their minds?
以上摘自2023年高考英语新全国卷1阅读理解D。
请问这个 willing 后面怎么没有名词呢?难道 those 可以修饰形容词吗?
Did they follow those least willing to change their minds?
其实这里的those不是修饰语,而是中心词,它后面的 least willing to change their minds 则是修饰 those 的修饰语(形容词短语作定语),原句相当于:
Did they follow those (who are) least willing to change their minds?
