It was he who really united England, Scotland and Ireland, who enforced justice and order at home and made England stronger and more respected abroad than she had ever been before in the whole of her history... (Essential English, Book 4, p. 110)
[原译]真正把英格兰、苏格兰和爱尔兰统一起来的就是他。他在国内实现公正和稳定社会秩序，在国外受到别国的尊敬，使英国比历史上任何时期都更加强盛。（中译本）请问 more respected 是指“他受到尊敬”吗？
make 有一个很常用的意义：“使……处于某种状态”。make 的宾语之后可以跟名词、形容词、分词等，来充当宾语的补足语。下面仅举两个用分词充当宾语补足语的例句。
-
I made myself understood by all the students in the lower grades. 我让低年级的学生全部听懂了我的话。
-
You must make yourself respected. 你必须使你自己受到别人的尊敬。
请注意,在这种句型里,make 的宾语都是其补足语(understood, repeated)逻辑上的主语。你所提问的题中的 made England stronger and more respected 就是属于这里所讲的句型。其中 stronger and more respected 的逻辑主语是 England。而原译者把关系代词 who 看成是 more respected 的逻辑主语了。
