※ 引述《pagl (喜樂的心乃是良藥)》之銘言:
: 各位高手好,很久沒唸英文了
: 因此想請教一下翻譯問題
: 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.
: 請問 the limit lifted on the amount 要怎麼翻?
: the limit lifted 是怎樣的文法結構?
: 謝謝您的回答。
先謝謝已經熱心回答的版友!
但我還有個疑問:
the limit lifted on the amount
照道理,
on the amount這個介系詞片語,應該是修飾limit
但為什麼lifted 可以卡在limit和on the amount中間?

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! 但是為何建議不要再分析文法了??不妥嗎? 05/27 18:01
3F:推 noruas:那P大自己覺得放哪比較好呢? 05/27 18:41
4F:推 noruas:其實跟前面的動詞want有關 05/27 18:44
5F:→ noruas:He wants the limit lifted. (want + n. + pp) 05/27 18:45
6F:→ noruas:這個順序是固定的 05/27 18:45
7F:推 noruas:也可以說: 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後面的受詞非常長, 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,但看見您的說明 05/27 18:54
11F:→ pagl:感覺更清楚了!因為我文法不是挺好,非常謝謝您的說明。 :-) 05/27 18:56
12F:→ dunkjames:我持反對看法 (to be) lifted 不定詞片語修飾 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..看錯了 當我眼花 上面看看就好 XD 05/27 20:40
18F:→ ashurali:--> want something done 05/27 22:22
