核心问题
Owing to the large sums of money involved, it was then felt essential to direct these human and material resources into specific channels with clearly-defined objectives.
上句中的 involved 是作什么成分?
词典解答
上句中的 involved 是 the sums of money 的后置定语。更详细的情形,请见 concerned, available。
应当注意的是, involved 作前置定语时和作后置定语时, 其意义常常是不同的:
-
The problem involved is basically simple. 所涉及到的问题从根本上说是很简单的。
-
This is a very involved problem. 这是一个很复杂的问题。
-
He could not fully understand involved scholarly lectures. 他不能完全听懂复杂的学术报告。
