A.it profitable that many social investments
B.profitable that many social investments
C.many profitable social investments that
D.profitable many social investments that
帮我划分下句子结构..
选D.
Some scholars argue that ...是句子的最主干结构,主语、谓语、加上宾语从句,应该能理解吧?现在说宾语从句的里面:
a large population makes profitable many social investments 到这也可以理解吧?“一个很大的人口数量能使一些社会投资成为有利可图的项目”.(其实通常的顺序是XX makes YY profitable,这里因为YY比较长,所以放到后面,把make profitable放在前面了)接下来是定语从句,解释是什么样的social investments 是那些在其他情况下不能获利的投资.明白了吗?
再问: 我不明白为什么otherwise 放在了would be 中间?
再答: 在这里otherwise不是连词“否则”,而是副词,意思是“在其他情况下,在其他场合下,换一种环境”,所以可以放在它修饰的动词be前面。
再问: 明白拉。
再答: 不客气
