: 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？ I think you should spend less time on figuring out the grammatical structure of a sentence. It is useful for linguists to parse a sentence into a tree with separate grammatical elements when doing analysis of a language, but in my humble opinion this is probably not for the average student. It is more important to learn what's right, and being capable of identifying what's wrong. With proper exposure, these abilities come with practice and becomes intuitive. Thus, - Learn your sentence structures through extensive, not intensive readings, and - Learn to get the meaning of a discourse through the intuitive, and not the analytical way. Back to the question you asked, "... wants the limit lifted on ..." could be rewritten as "... wants to lift the limit on ..." The bottom line: This is a common sentence structure not usually mentioned in "grammar books" and to learn a language well, you don't read the books on the language you read the books IN that language... --
