The news said that the death toll in the tsunami in Indonesia had climbed over 400, with a lot more reported ________.
A. to miss B. to have been missing C. having missed D. missing
老师,这题选B,不定式完成进行,但这个reported怎么样理解,是修饰省略的逻辑主语things还是上文提到的死亡的人数呢? 而且这个reported,是翻译据报道,还是已经报道呢?
The news said that the death toll in the tsunami in Indonesia had climbed over 400, with a lot more reported to have been missing.
【翻译】这则消息称,印尼海啸导致的死亡人数已经攀升到400多人,据报道还有更多的人失踪。
1. with a lot more reported to have been missing:是with 复合结构。more 后面省略了people。等于说:
with a lot more people reported to have been missing
结构是:with + 宾语 + 过去分词
2. reported 是过去分词,to have been missing 是不定式的完成式。没进行,missing 是形容词(失踪的)。be missing (系表结构),完成式:have been missing。
3. 过去分词短语 reported to have been missing:被报道是失踪的。作 a lot more 的宾补。
