要学会阅读。这个句子是口语化的,不要去细扣语法,能看懂意思即可。good, bad, fair-to-middling 都是形容词,而不是副词。now good, now bad 实际是省略句,省略了主语和系词。即作者画的肖像有时候好,有时候不好。自己希望总体来说还行吧。即 my drawings were sometimes good, sometimes bad. I hope they were genera...

make a mess of sth 并不是双宾语结构,你按照双宾语去转换当然是行不通的。另外,make a mess of 为习语,很少用被动语态。所以你没有必要强行去转换。如果你在实际阅读中见到这个结构的被动语态,你尽管模仿使用即可。你没有必要自己去创造。

你的问题涉及表语形容词后接that从句的问题。perplexed在此是形容词作表语,that 从句是何成分,国内不同语法著作有不同的分析。例如张道真认为that从句为状语从句,修饰形容词;薄冰认为that从句是形容词的宾语从句;章振邦认为that从句是形容词的补足语。国外通常采用现代语法体系,即章振邦采用的体系,把that从句分析为...
