英语语法的问题
Nothing is more discouraging than to spend hours preparing a delicious meat dish followed by,say,fresh strawberries,这个followed by是作定语还是翻译为其次妥当?
This may result in the rest of you tucking into a vast meal while your guest ties suspiciously with a few sides of tomato.suspiciously with a few sides of tomato副词可以修饰介词短语吗?
The Senate is expected to be the next majority leader Mitch McConnell ,and other Republicans have fought proposals by President Barack Obama.这里的The Senate is expected to be 是位置顺序换了吗,还有这个时态other Republicans have fought proposals也有点不懂.
The Red Cross flew to the aera of floods,ready to dole out supplies of food and medicine.这个ready to一般是be ready to这个是作形容词的吗?

Answer 1

Nothing is more discouraging than to spend hours preparing a delicious meat dish followed by, say, fresh strawberries,这个followed by（ to spend hours preparing ）fresh strawberries是作状语的修饰 to spend hours preparing a delicious meat dish可以翻译为其次
This may result in the rest of you tucking into a vast meal while your guest ties suspiciously with a few sides of tomato.suspiciously with a few sides of tomato副词可以修饰介词短语
因为 介词短语具有形容词、副词特征
The Senate is expected to be the next majority leader Mitch McConnell , and other Republicans have fought proposals by President Barack Obama. 我认为这是一个并列句 说明两种情况
这里的The Senate is expected to be 是位置顺序换了,=the next majority leader of the Senate
,is expected to be Mitch McConnell
还有这个时态other Republicans have fought proposals是现在完成时
并且其他共和党人已经反对奥巴马的提议了.
The Red Cross flew to the aera of floods,ready to dole out supplies of food and medicine.这个ready to.形容词短语 作伴随状语
