250. But those captured were anything but terrorists, most of them illegal immigrants from Cent}ra} or South America.
英语四级译文:
被逮捕的并非恐怖主义者,其中大多数是来自中美与南美的非法移民。
四级词汇讲解:
本句的主干是those were anything but terrorists。过去分词captured为代词those的后置定语,两者为被动关系;most of them illegal immigrants from Central or South America对主语those起到了补充说明的作用,其中them指代的就是those,这句还可以替换为非限制性定语从句: most of whom were illegal immigrants from Central or South America。
anything but的意思是 决不,根本不 ,属于肯定形式表达否定含义的情况。如:
The bridge is anything but safe.这桥一点也不安全。
