核心问题
These surveys indicate that many crimes go ____ by the police, mainly because not all victims report them. A. unrecorded B. to be unrecorded C. unrecording D. to have been unrecorded(全国四级,00.6-26)
答案为 A。《大学英语四级历年考试试题详解》(外文出版社,2001,p.301)解答说:“本题测试点:非谓语动词作状语。”
请问过去分词 unrecorded 是作 go 的状语吗?
词典解答
该书作者忽略了 go 的连系动词用法。应当注意的是,go 用作连系动词时,有时表示动态(如 go mad/angry/blind/bad/rotten),有时表示静态:“处于……状态”(如 go hungry/naked/unarmed)。上句中的 unrecorded 是表语(见 go hungry)。类例:
-
Why do so many rapes go unreported? 为什么这么多的强奸案没有被告发?
-
What would she think if people went naked? 如果人们都赤身裸体,她会怎么想呢?
