【語(yǔ)法分析】
這句話是一個(gè)主系表句型,主語(yǔ)"the cost","only apparent"是形容詞修飾主語(yǔ),"to taking...as a meal"是主語(yǔ)的后置定語(yǔ)。系詞是"is",表語(yǔ)是"the space","on your hard drive"是定語(yǔ)修飾"the space","your dining companion’s patience"是另外一個(gè)表語(yǔ)。
這句話不長(zhǎng),但很容易被當(dāng)中的其他結(jié)構(gòu)帶跑,所以我們還是要還原到這句話的主干結(jié)構(gòu)--"Now, the only apparent cost is the space on your hard drive and your dining companion’s patience."。原句中"to taking infinite photos of something as common as a meal"作為主語(yǔ)的定語(yǔ),當(dāng)中的"as common as a meal"其實(shí)作為狀語(yǔ)修飾定語(yǔ)中的動(dòng)作"to taking...",注意這里面"to"是介詞,后面接的是動(dòng)名詞。
