be born + adj

问题描述

老师您好!

She was born deaf.她生下来就失聪

本句中was born充当谓语部分，那么deaf (adj)在句中的位置是什么呢？这种句式如何理解

盼复，谢谢！

老师答疑

刘老师：

She was born deaf. 她生下来就失聪。

【答】deaf是形容词，放在句末作方式或伴随状语，说明“她出生时的状况”。又如：

All men are born equal. 所有人生来都是平等的。

All the goods were received intact. 所有货物收到时都完好无损。

The poet died young. 这位诗人英年早逝。

It can be eaten raw. 它可以吃生。

该用法还有“主语补语”一说，但目前不被主流语法所认可。
