I have this vivid memory, when she was born, of them taking her to clean her off… 本句中them是什么成分呢,指代什么意思呢?为什么能在of后面呢?具体讲解一下吧?
谢谢老师了

【答】 memory 和 of 被动名词的时间状语when she was born 所分隔。现把when she was born 放在句末:
I have this vivid memory of them taking her to clean her off when she was born.
本句,them taking her to clean her off是“动名词的复合结构”,作介词of的宾语,而介词短语of them taking her to clean her off作memory的定语。
