Whenever we hear of a natural disaster,even in a distant part of the world,we feel sympathy for the to have been affected
这句话里的 TO 怎么理解呀？
用法是什么，可以举例说明一下吗，谢谢了。。
,we feel sympathy for the people to have been affected

Answer 1

这里的to have been affected 是不定式的完成时态做后置定语，修饰前面的people。但这样用法比较少见，通常用一个定语从句来代替，people who have been affected。
英语中某些名词，如chance，way，ability，time，right（权利）等后面是可以用不定式做其后置定语的。如：I got a chance to study abroad.这里的to study abroad 做定语，修饰chance；the way to learn English 这里的to learn English 也是修饰way的。
