如何分析There are sb doing sth的句子成分

问题描述

有这样一个句子：
There are fewer than 2000 pandas living in the remaining forests.
请问老师：living in the remaining forests 在这里做什么成分？谢谢老师的解答。

老师答疑

曾老师：

句中的 living in the remaining forests 是现在分词短语作后置定语，相当于定语从句 that live in the remaining forests。又如（注意句式变化）：

1.There is a great man who lives in our town.我们镇里住着一位大人物。

= There is a great man living in our town.

= There lives a great man in our town.

2. There is a TV tower standing on top of the hill. 山顶上矗立着一座电视塔。

= There is a TV tower that stands on top of the hill.

= There stands a TV tower on top of the hill.

3. There lies a railway before our village. 我们村子前面有一条铁路。

= There is a railway that lies before our village.

= There is a railway lying before our village.
