標題[文法] what 的用法
時間Wed Jan 11 02:12:24 2023
大家好,今天在 New York Times看到一句話:
Thousands of supporters of Brazil’s former president, Jair Bolsonaro, broke
into government buildings yesterday to protest what they falsely claim was a
stolen election.
請問此句後方的 "what they falsely claim was a stolen election"
為什麼不是寫成: "what they falsely claim to be/as a stolen election"
或是直接把 was 刪除, 變成 “what they falsely claim a stolen election"
這樣原句裡 what 作為插入句,裡頭不就有兩個動詞 claim 和 was
我會這樣理解,是因為類似的句子像是:
"If she wants to learn to do what she calls 'useful things'...
這裡的 what she calls 後面也沒加 are。
不知道該怎麼理解 "what they falsely claim was" 這樣的文法(看起來有2個動詞)?
謝謝

1F:推 stukpe: protest後面是一個名詞子句,故要有主詞、動詞,而名詞子 01/11 10:32
2F:→ stukpe: 句中what they falsely claim是主詞,was是動詞 01/11 10:32
謝謝,但有點困惑的是,為什麼 "if she wants to learn to do what she calls useful
things, I think it is best..."
此處calls後面為什麼不用加are?

3F:→ dunchee: claim和call的用法不是一樣。你問的句子的claim只接一個 01/11 21:56
4F:→ dunchee: 受詞(前頭的what),且整個what-clause裡頭又包了一個子句 01/11 21:56
5F:→ dunchee: --共兩個子句 01/11 21:56
6F:→ dunchee: 你有困惑的那句裡頭的call接[受詞(前頭的what)+受詞補語] 01/11 21:56
7F:→ dunchee: (我剛查文馨字典),整個what-clause已經是完整的一個子句 01/11 21:56
8F:→ dunchee: ,一個動詞(calls)已經夠了 01/11 21:57
9F:→ dunchee: 更正: claim的受詞是that-clause,不是前頭的what。整個 01/11 22:08
10F:→ dunchee: 的what-clause仍是包含兩個子句,只是是另外的結構,有空 01/11 22:08
11F:→ dunchee: 我另外補充 01/11 22:09
