Question

可以分析一下句子成分吗？

;much of what is seen to be owned by her actually belongs to the so-called Royal Firm, the $28 billion empire that members of the British royal family like King George VI and Prince Philip once referred to as “the family business.”
这句话中1. 为啥 有个 "what is seem " seem不是动词吗，为什么在is后面？
2.这整句话的谓语动词是belongs 吗？

Answer 1

您好，... much of what is seen to be owned by her actually belongs to the so-called Royal Firm ... 的主干结构是：
... much ... actually belongs to the so-called Royal Firm ...
所以句子的主干结构是：
1）主语 = much
2）谓语 = belongs to（动词短语）
3）宾语 = the Royal Firm
of what is seen to be owned by her 是（介词短语）充当（后置定语）修饰主语 much；而这个（介词短语）中夹带了一个由 what 引导的宾语从句，作 of（介词）的（宾语）。
what is seen to be owned by her 的谓语动词使用了两个被动语态：
is seen = 一般现在时的被动语态（see 的被动）（不是您提到的 seem，而是 seen，seen 是 see 的过去分词）

to be owned = 动词不定式的被动语态
what is seen to be owned by her 译为【看起来像是她拥有的……】what 在宾语从句中充当主语
much of what she owns = 大部分她所拥有的物品
much of what is seen to be owned by her = 大部分看起来像是她拥有的物品
much of what is seen to be owned by her actually belongs to the so-called Roayl Firm
看起来像是她所拥有的大部分东西实际上属于所谓的皇家事务所。
