(1)Yet the new system has not worked out any cheaper for the universities.(主+謂+形容詞?)

(2)But in the medium term, middle-class workers may need a lot of help adjusting.(主+謂+賓+形容詞?)

1.Yet the new system has not worked out any cheaper for the universities.

cheap 是形容詞。也是副詞,意為:實惠地,底價地,便宜地。本句,cheap用作副詞修飾謂語動詞 worked out。

句子意思是:但,對于大學來講,新規(guī)范產(chǎn)生的成效并不低廉。


2. But in the medium term, middle-class workers may need a lot of help adjusting.

本句,adjusting 和 help 的關(guān)系是 “在調(diào)整方面的幫忙”。從理解句意的角度剖析,可以視為在 adjusting 之前省略了介詞 in。有介詞是動名詞,沒介詞是目前分詞。

句子意思是:但從中期來看,中產(chǎn)階級工人可能需要很多幫助去調(diào)整(他們的情況)。
