Hour after hour I kept the gun pointed at the other nine men. ①From the lifeboats stern, where Id sat most of the twenty days of our drifting, I could keep them all covered. ②If I had to shoot at such close quarters, I wouldnt miss. They realized that. Nobody jumped at me. ③But in the way they all glared I could see how theyd come to hate my guts.
Especially Barrett, whod been bosns mate; Barrett said in his harsh, cracked voice, Youre a fool, Snyder. ①Y-you cant hold out forever! Youre half asleep now!
Especially Barrett是否省略了,完整的可能是Barretthates my gutsespecially. 所以才导致了仿佛是副词修饰名词的现象。
与其说Especially Barrett...后面省略了谓语部分,不如说它是对前面句子中的人称代词they的补充说明。
