GVO雜誌 The builders of the plant, however, had no inkling their brilliant plan for harnessing the sun's energy would see vast numbers of the avian species meeting an Icarus-like demise. 我覺得是SVO+that子句, that子句當O的同位語, 但在their的前面可以省略that嗎? 老師說that不能省略, 且that子句是inkling的補語 句型變成SVOC, 可是我感覺不出那個語意 We appoint him chairman. 這句跟上句句型不同吧 又說 numbers of 好像不對, 要改成 a number of, 這個我覺得文章沒問題... 大家覺得呢?
很多詞,如單字詞sure、多字詞have no idea/inkling/etc.後面允許接上一個子句(直述或疑問),以便補足意思:什麼idea/inkling,sure什麼?這裡的that可省,如同做know受詞的子句的that可省。這種補充性子句that和我們常說的thefact+that同位語子句不同。是一種補語、補充,不是同位語。作同位語時,看前面的名詞常不常見,如果常見,例如fact,後面同位語的that越是可以省略。
