※ 引述《pagl (喜乐的心乃是良药)》之铭言:
: 各位高手好,很久没念英文了
: 因此想请教一下翻译问题
: Mr Obama's letter says the government will aggressively pursue full
: compensation and as part of that he wants the limit lifted on the amount
: oil companies are liable to pay after a spill.
: 请问 the limit lifted on the amount 要怎麽翻?
: the limit lifted 是怎样的文法结构?
: 谢谢您的回答。
先谢谢已经热心回答的版友!
但我还有个疑问:
the limit lifted on the amount
照道理,
on the amount这个介系词片语,应该是修饰limit
但为什麽lifted 可以卡在limit和on the amount中间?

1F:→ usread:lifted的意思是「取消」, 取消限制, 不要再「分析」文法了 05/27 17:22
2F:→ pagl:嗯,我知道啊! 但是为何建议不要再分析文法了??不妥吗? 05/27 18:01
3F:推 noruas:那P大自己觉得放哪比较好呢? 05/27 18:41
4F:推 noruas:其实跟前面的动词want有关 05/27 18:44
5F:→ noruas:He wants the limit lifted. (want + n. + pp) 05/27 18:45
6F:→ noruas:这个顺序是固定的 05/27 18:45
7F:推 noruas:也可以说: he wants the limit on the amount oil companie 05/27 18:48
8F:→ noruas:are liable to pay after a spill lifted. 05/27 18:48
9F:→ noruas:但是want後面的受词非常长, 所以作者把lifted挪到前面 05/27 18:49
10F:→ pagl:我原先是想成limit on the amount lifted,但看见您的说明 05/27 18:54
11F:→ pagl:感觉更清楚了!因为我文法不是挺好,非常谢谢您的说明。 :-) 05/27 18:56
12F:→ dunkjames:我持反对看法 (to be) lifted 不定词片语修饰 limit 05/27 20:24
13F:→ dunkjames:He asked the file to be found no later than Friday. 05/27 20:30
14F:→ dunkjames:不同於 He asked the file no later than Friday. 05/27 20:31
15F:推 dunkjames:但同於 He asked the file found no later than Friday. 05/27 20:33
16F:→ dunkjames:厄..看错了 当我眼花 上面看看就好 XD 05/27 20:40
18F:→ ashurali:--> want something done 05/27 22:22
