【難句23】Drivers can instruct their car stereos to “play similar”， prompting the system to call up songs in the same musical genre. (Business Week Feb. 5, 2007)

　　【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】本句結(jié)構(gòu)清晰，主干是一個(gè)主謂賓結(jié)構(gòu)：Drivers can instruct their car stereos to “play similar”，其中不定式結(jié)構(gòu)to “play similar”構(gòu)成了instruct their cars的復(fù)合賓語(yǔ)。現(xiàn)在分詞結(jié)構(gòu)prompting the system to call up songs in the same musical genre作instruct their car stereos to “play similar”的狀語(yǔ)，我們可以理解為結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)，在這里，prompt后也采用了不定式結(jié)構(gòu)to call up songs in the same musical genre與the system一起構(gòu)成復(fù)合賓語(yǔ)的形式。
