It is possible that one of them kept a kind of bank where the workers could keep their money safe. [《高中英语教科书》第二册(上),人教社,p.32] [原译]其中有一个人可能保管一种钱库,工人们可以把钱放在那里。(《教师用书》,p.184,新版 p.182) 请问上句中的第一个 keep(kept)是“保管”的意思吗?
上句中的第一个 keep(kept) 的意思是“经营”“开设”：
Her father kept a grocer's shop for a number of years. 她父亲开了几年杂货店。
She keeps( = owns and runs) a small shop. 她经营一家小商店。
第二个 keep 是“存放”的意思：
He keeps his tools in his garage. 他把工具存放在车库里。
[试译]很可能其中有一个人开了一个类似银行的钱庄，工人们可以把钱存在那里（参见a kind of）。
keep (a) shop 见 shop $keep^{4}$
keep/raise
（1）Sheep are kept by farmers for producing wool and meat.
(2) Many western countries raise and butcher a large number of beef cattle.
keep 和 raise 都作“饲养”解,不知有无区别?
在中学英语阶段,可把作“饲养”解的 keep 和 raise 看作是同义词:
They keep chickens in their back garden. 他们在后花园养鸡。
keep bees, goats, hens, etc 饲养蜂、羊、鸡等
She makes a little money by keeping hens and selling the eggs. 她靠养鸡和卖鸡蛋赚点钱。
They raise horses. 他们饲养马匹。
The farmer raised chickens and corn. 这个农民过去养鸡和种植谷物。
The farmer raises cows and corn. 农民养牛和种植谷物。
be kept a prisoner
(1) Dr Manette, having been kept a prisoner in the Bastille, Paris's most important prison, for many years, had recently been set free, and this news had reached Miss Manette in England.
(2) The letter had been written by Dr Manette and had been hidden behind a stone in the little room where he was kept a prisoner.
上面两句中的 a prisoner 是什么成分?
在 having been kept a prisoner 这一结构中,一下子很难看出 a prisoner 到底是什么成分。但是,如果我们举出主动句的例子,便会一目了然。
在 keep + 宾语 + 宾语补足语中, 宾语补足语可以是形容词、副词、分词或介词短语。除此之外, 也可以是名词:
This kept her a student. 这使得她一直在学校学习。
They kept him a prisoner. 他们一直在囚禁他。
当这样的句子变成被动句时,这个宾语补足语就变成主语补足语(表语)了:
She was kept a student. 她继续在学校学习。
He was kept a prisoner. 他一直被囚禁。
不难明白,你所提问的上面两个句子里的 a prisoner 应分析为主语补足语(表语)。
