Question

求动词不定式作定语的例句!

Answer 1

the tepptation to steal is greater than ever before.=the tepptation which is / that is to steal is greater than ever before.
句子的主干是the tepptation is greater than ever before 那个……比以往任何时候都要大
现在这里the tepptation to steal =the tepptation which is / that is to steal
动词不定式形式是to do sth.
这里用动词steal的不定式,即 to steal 来作为定语,修饰前面的那个tepptation,表示是用于干……的那个tepptation,要……的那个tepptation
动词不定式可以作为定语,来修饰前面的先行词的,如the pen to get is here 要拿的那个笔在这里
至于ever before一般是出现在比较级中 sth.is adj的比较级 than ever before
表示 ：比以往任何时候都要……,程度比单单的before要加重了点~
