求解一句话语法

In addition, the computer programs a company uses to estimate relationships may be patented and not subject to peer review or outside evaluation and后面这句话帮忙分析下是个什么结构 subject这里是动词还是形容词啊

Answer 1

subject
作动词是使役动词 表使..顺从 固定用法为subject sb/sth to sth

作形容词表取决于 服从于 固定用法为subject to sb/sth
所以
In addition, the computer programs （a company uses to estimate relationships） may be patented and not subject to peer review or outside evaluation
抛去修饰部分主体为
the computer programs may be patented and （may be ）not subject to peer review or outside evaluation
可以看出其中subject是形容词（如果是动词就需要变换成ed形式了 即be subjected to ）且为固定搭配be subject to sth这里的sth是指peer review or outside evaluation
