在 force open 结构中 open 是个什么词?在句中作什么成分?
上句中的 open 是个形容词,在句中作宾语补足语。宾语补足语的正常位置是在宾语之后(参见 object complement),例如:
We had to force the window open. 我们不得不用力撞开窗户。
但是,有时候也可以把宾语补足语放到宾语的前头去:
Topson forced open the tin of bacon. 托普森用力打开了熏猪肉罐头。
“Why did you go back upstairs?”“I thought I had left the windows ____.”
A. opened B. open C. being open D. to be open (TOEFL)
既然过去分词可以表示状态,为什么这里不能选 A(opened)?
open 既可用作动词(vt, vi),亦可用作形容词。用作形容词时,作“开着”“开放”“(商店)开门”解,如 an open window(开着的窗户)。除用作定语和表语外,还常常用作宾语补足语。push sth. open(把……推开),leave sth. open(让……敞开着),pull sth. open(把……拉开)是常见的固定用法。
opened 是过去分词, 它总是跟具体的动作相关连, 因此它表达的是动态, 跟表达静态的 open 形成鲜明的对照。请对比下列句子:
-
All the windows were open. 所有的窗户都开着。
-
Are the shops open yet? 这些商店现在还开门(营业)吗?
-
The road was formally opened in 1902. 这条路1902年正式通车。
-
The shop was opened by Mary this morning because the manager was ill. 今天早晨商店是由玛丽开门的,因为经理病了。
-
Suddenly the door of the store-room was opened and a man entered. (New Concept English, Book 3, L. 13) 突然,储藏室的门打开了,走进来一个人。
