This is a moving spectacle, for crowds of people stand on the shore watching the lanterns drifting away until they can be seen no more.
老师,watching the lanterns drifting away里的the lanters drifting away是动名词的复合结构作watching的宾语吗,这种写作手法有哪些特别作用与功效?
watching the lanterns drifting away
watch在此为感官动词,后接复合宾语,drifting away为目前分词作宾补。
watch/see sb do sth
watch/see sb doing sth
网友忘了这种结构吗?
watching作stand的随着状语,要用目前分词,后面的drifting为宾补,也要用目前分词。这没什么特殊,是描述当时的情景所需要的。
