英語(yǔ)的介詞短語(yǔ)可以做主語(yǔ)嗎?
較大功率的柴油機(jī)的汽缸往往按V形排列,汽缸在中線的左側(cè)或右側(cè),以一定角度交錯(cuò)安排,汽缸以V形排列的柴油機(jī)比全部汽缸單列的柴油機(jī)更能縮短其總長(zhǎng)度.對(duì)應(yīng)的譯文是：In the V-type cylinder arrangement,often adopted in the larger diesel engines,setting the cylinders alternately at an angle right or left of the centre-line,in a "V" formation,makes possible a reduction in total length as compared with an engine that has all the cylinders in line.
而整段英文翻譯中,找不到主語(yǔ),如果硬要找,那只能是in ...作為主語(yǔ),請(qǐng)問,這樣在英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法上講得通嗎?因?yàn)榧词故墙樵~短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ),動(dòng)詞一般是表示位置的動(dòng)詞啊.我分析得對(duì)嗎?希望大家給予回答.
