Question

一个英语语法问题，请教网友指点谢谢

If the stakes are so high, and the decision ultimately his, would he really let an uncooperative Congress stand in his way?
这里的and the decision ultimately his从语法上看不懂，特别是最后的那个his，从顺序上来讲很混乱

Answer 1

本句中省略了be动词is，与前半句构成并列关系，因此，整句话可译为：
玩得这么大, 如果这是他的最终决定, 他（奥巴马）真的会让不合作的国会阻挡自己的脚步吗?
仅供参考，望能帮助到你，呵呵！

Answer 2

省略。完整句是：and the decision ultimately is his. 句意：如果风险如此之高，而且最终的决定是由他做的，他会让一个不怎么合作的国会挡他的道吗？

Answer 3

这样看，你就理解了：
If the stakes are so high, and IF the decision IS ultimately his, would he really let an uncooperative Congress stand in his way?

-----------其中省略了 IF 和 IS .

追问

那 ultimately his又怎么解释

追答

1 IF the decision IS ultimately his == if it is basically his decision
2 ultimately 基本上

Answer 4

语法是错的，不要纠结了

Answer 5

只能说也许你看错了原句。
