There'll be an endless sea, of us rising up.
请问其中的 of us rising up 是什么用法,跟前一分句的语法结构是什么?
童老师:
▲在网上查了一下,你的句子出自一部电影《自由持有》(Hands Of Love)的插曲。原句是没有逗号的,即:There'll be an endless sea of us rising up (将有我们无数的人起来反抗)
▲其中的 a sea of… 是个常用短语,意思是“大量的,茫茫一片的”,若需加强语气,其中的 sea 也可以受 endless, vast 等形容词修饰。如:
a sea of flame 一片火海
a sea of faces 无数张面孔,人山人海
a sea of multicoloured umbrellas. 五颜六色的伞的海洋
I stood amid a sea of corn. 我站在茫茫一片庄稼之中。
We saw a sea of people in the square. 我们在广场上看见一片人山人海。
Vast crowds had churned the field into a sea of mud. 大批大批的人把场地踩得一片泥泞。
She scanned the vast sea of faces below her. 她扫视了一下下面的无数张面孔。
The actor looked out from the stage onto a sea of faces. 那演员从舞台上往下看去,见到的是黑压压的一大片面孔。
▲你的句子涉及句式为:There be+sb/sth+doing sth
There is someone waiting for him. 有人在等他。
There’s a dog lying on the floor. 地上躺着一条狗。
There were no soldiers drilling. 没有士兵在操练。
There was a party going on next door. 隔壁正在搞聚会。
There are hundreds begging in the streets. 街上有数以百计的乞丐。
There’ll be somebody meeting you at the airport. 会有人在机场接你。
There was a fire burning in the large fireplace. 大壁炉里火势正旺。
语法分析:这类句式中的现在分词短语为定语,修饰前面的名词或代词。

张老师:

There'll be an endless sea of us rising up
【试译】血色残阳,白色旌旗启航,我们的抗争必将汇成无边的海洋。
