在Teenagers magazine - 青少年杂志上看到一句话:
Peopledressed baby boys in blue in the hope that boys would be protected.
请问专家:inthe hope that 这里that是引导同位语从句吗?整个in thehope that + 同位语从句是表目的吗?
另外,一般名词修饰名词,第一个名词要用单数,比如story book,但为何青少年杂志要用复数呢?
是的,that从句是hope的同位语从句。但一般不这么剖析,而是把in the hope that合起来剖析为复合连词,引导目的状语从句。
Teenagers Magazine = Teenagers' Magazine. 在非正式语体中,复数名词的属格的撇号常被省略。teenagers' magazine = magazine for teenagers. 比较:women's hospital = hospital for women.
