(1)Yet the new system has not worked out any cheaper for the universities.(主+谓+形容词?)
(2)But in the medium term, middle-class workers may need a lot of help adjusting.(主+谓+宾+形容词?)
1.Yet the new system has not worked out any cheaper for the universities.
cheap 是形容词。也是副词,意为:实惠地,底价地,便宜地。本句,cheap用作副词修饰谓语动词 worked out。
句子意思是:但,对于大学来讲,新规范产生的成效并不低廉。
2. But in the medium term, middle-class workers may need a lot of help adjusting.
本句,adjusting 和 help 的关系是 “在调整方面的帮忙”。从理解句意的角度剖析,可以视为在 adjusting 之前省略了介词 in。有介词是动名词,没介词是目前分词。
句子意思是:但从中期来看,中产阶级工人可能需要很多帮助去调整(他们的情况)。
