好歹把题目贴出来啊 。。。。
begun是過去分詞
An attempt to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, begun almost two decades
ago, ....
過去分詞來修飾名詞時, 代表那名詞是被動的做那個"分詞動作"...
如果句子變成
Beginning almost two decades ago, an attempt to ratify the Equal Rights
Amedment has been unsuccessful despite efforts by many important groups,
including the National Organization for Women.
我可以理解...
可是用過去分詞, 有點像說
An attempt, which was begun almost two decades ago, to ratify the Equal
Rights Amedment has been unsuccessful despite efforts by many important
groups, including the National Organization for Women.
好像不對
可能我對過去分詞的理解錯誤...
NN請指點..
因为attempt修饰的动作没有结束，所以用to do形式。而如果已经结束，那么就用at
doing.
试比较：
I made an attempt at doing this, actually, but found my editing skills not up
to it while in the midst of a minor headache.
Poets have often invoked metaphors in an attempt to do justice to the
unexpected beauty or drama.
不过OG，BY里都没有例子是attempt at doing的...
OG里有说到：
The correct phrase, in an attempt, should be completed by an infinitive (here, to control), as in A.
也就是说，attempt后面跟to do来完善an attempt.
