如果网友觉得这个习语用语法解释不了的话,你就把 show 暂时看作系动词, willing 作表语,相当于 appear 的用法。例如:

But now some appear/show willing to take more risk. 但现在有些人显示出愿意冒更大的风险。
Both sides appear/show willing to reach an understanding on how to respond to incidents to prevent their escalation. 
双方似乎都愿意就如何对事件做出回应、以防止其升级达成谅解。
That means his Chinese fans appear/show willing to accept that being heroic doesn't necessarily mean being victorious. 
这样说来,他的中国球迷似乎也愿意接受不以成败论英雄的观点。

其实,这是口语中一种过度省略的说法。They show willing to help us. = They show (they are) willing to help us.

这是习语,其实,你自己查一下字典就可以解决。根据the free dictionary 的解释,willing是形容词。请看该字典的解释:Show willing:

To demonstrate a willingness or eagerness to do what is necessary. Primarily heard in UK, Australia.

例句:

The Labour leader has been showing willing to work with opposition parties on a tax reform package for the country.

另外,该字典在willing 的形容词词条下也提到了show willing.
