criminalsspendmonthsoryearsoftheirlifewithother,oftenmorehardened

criminals作主語(yǔ),這是一個(gè)makesb.dosth.結(jié)構(gòu),另外,oftenmorehardenedcriminals是other的同位語(yǔ);isboundtohave作謂語(yǔ);anegativeinfluence作賓語(yǔ);onthem作狀語(yǔ).后一分句是一個(gè)被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu),impressionable

youngpeople是主語(yǔ),caneasilygetdrawn是謂語(yǔ),intothewrongcrowd是狀語(yǔ).

替換表達(dá)：afinalresort

Q：最后手段alastresort,是固定搭配嗎?用thelastresort也可以吧,就是指最后一個(gè),不指之一.A：這里用a/thelastresort都可以,它們的含義都是"最終手段”.

Prisonshouldbeseenasalastresortfor

thosewhoposeagenuinerisktosociety,notabintotossundesirables.

[分析]本句是一個(gè)被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu),Prison是主語(yǔ),shouldbeseen是謂語(yǔ),asalastresort…直到結(jié)尾是主語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ),其中包括了一個(gè)who引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句,修飾those,另外,asalastresort…notabin包含了一種取舍關(guān)系,肯定前者而否定后者.

4.從古至今,人類(lèi)就一直在討論正義以及如何最好地懲治犯罪的話(huà)題.最簡(jiǎn)單的方法之一是對(duì)于每類(lèi)犯罪都施以固定的懲罰.一些人支持這種做法.Sinceancienttimes,humanshavebeendiscussingthetopicofjusticeand
