请教英语句子成分划分

I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems, set up interviews and do research?

我知道 这句应该理解为 I hesitated. How would I set up interviews and do research? 现在问题是：unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems 在这里做什么成份

Answer 1

　　形容词短语可以用来作状语，相当于省略了系动词的分词短语的功能。

 

　　此处等于 (being) unable to speak the language, (being) totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems，是  set up interviews and do research 的伴随状语。

 

　　全句可以改写如下：I hesitated. When I was unable to speak the language, and when I was totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems, how would I set up interviews and do research?

 

　　形容词短语作状语是英语的一大修辞特点，另如：

 

• Old enough, he could do everything. (= Because he was old enough, he could do everything. )

• The girl rushed into the room, happy and excited. (=The girl rushed into the room, while she was happy and excited. )

• She sang us a sweet song, full of deep feelings. (She sang us a sweet song while she was full of deep feelings.)。

Answer 2

形容词短语修饰名词
在这个句子中 有两个形容词短语unable to speak the language 跟 unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems 修饰名词 I （怎样的我呢？--不能说这种语言，对本地地理与运输系统完全不了解 的我）
在我们常见的情况下形容词修饰名词一半都是放在名词前面，比如说 red apple. 但是也有形容词放在名词后面的，比如说 red eaten. 这里是过去分词做形容词“被吃掉的苹果”。形容词短语的性质跟形容词是类似的，用法也差不多，因为你举的例子中形容词短语较长，所以为了使句子更清楚就用逗号分开了~

这个是的个人意见，亲可以参考一下~

这个说的好像也有道理

Answer 3

楼主理解正确。

主干是：I hesitated. How would I set up interviews and do research?
而 unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems 是两个形容词短语构成的并列成分，在第二个句子中充当状语。

基本翻译：（但是）既不能说（当地的）那种语言，又不熟悉当地的地理和交通体系，我又怎样才能进行采访和研究呢？

谢谢老师指点。想知道一下插入的部分充当什么状语呢

追答

从句意来看，是原因状语或条件状语。

Answer 4

插入部分， 省略了being , being +形容词短语，做状语

追问

是做什么状语呢？

把这种状况命名为什么，似乎不太重要，也很纠结。

变变句子，看看，是否能说通。

How would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems, set up interviews and do research?

Since/ as/ now that I am unable to speak the language, and totally unfamilia with loca geography or transportation systems, how would i set up intervies and do research?
