Republicans have refused to act on the nomination, leaving the U.S.’s most powerful judicial body one vote short of its nine-member bench.
这个伴随状语里的 one vote 是名词成分在这作了副词修饰 short 吗?英语里有这种名词作副词的用法吗? 这个伴随状语内部的语法详细帮我解答一下吧。
【翻译】共和党人拒绝就提名一事采取行动,结果使美国最强大的司法机构9位法官的席位缺少一票。
【分析】leaving the U.S.’s most powerful judicial body one vote short of its nine-member bench:这个分词短语不宜看作伴随状语,而应看作结果状语。
1. leaving之后跟了一个复合宾语。其中,the U.S.’s most powerful judicial body 为宾语,one vote short of its nine-member bench为宾补。
2. 表示“量化”概念的名词,可以当副词用,作状语修饰不及物动词或形容词等。本句的one vote 即是修饰形容词short (缺少)。名词作状语大致可以分为以下两种情况:
(1)表示时间、次数、距离、方向、程度、状态的名词或短语。
The meeting lasted an hour. 会议开了一个钟头。
I told you many times. 我告诉过你多次了。
I can't move even an inch. 我一点也动不了。
Come this way, please. 请这边来。
I don't care a bit.我一点也不在乎。
(2)表示程度(重量、价值、高/深度、长/宽度、年龄、温度、倍数)的名词或短语。
The first man-made satellite of our country weighs 173 kilogrammes. 我国第一颗人造卫星重173千克。
These vases are centuries old. 这些花瓶年代久远,是老古董了。
The street is three thousand metres long. 这条街有3000米长。
The water in the river has fallen two feet. 河水水位落了两英尺。
有时候,一个单词同时具备名词和副词的两种词性。这时,如果作主语或宾语则视为名词,作状语则视为副词。例如:
Today is Sunday. (today 是名词)
It is very hot today.(today 是副词)
