Question

It was installed on a curved ceiling in a nichelike room so that it was over you and around you, with Christ tipping toward you, about to crash down.
about to crash down 这个修饰谁

Answer 1

doubt 与 suspect 作动词用 ， 都有“怀疑”的意思，用法区别如下。
一 . 如果后面接名词、代词或名词性词组时，两者基本上可通用。

例如：
I doubt/suspect the truth of her statement. 我对她那番话的真实性表示怀疑。
He says he can cure me， but I still doubt/suspect him. 他说他能治好我的病，但我仍对他不放心。

二 . 如果后面接 that 从句，意思就截然不同。
doubt 意为“无把握；不相信（ question the truth of； don't believe/think ）”，怀疑其无。 suspect 意为“有存在或属实的想法；相信（ have an idea of the existence； believe； guess ）”，怀疑其有。
例如：
I doubt that he has stolen my watch. 我不相信他偷了我的手表。
I suspect that he has stolen my watch. 我怀疑 / 猜想他偷了我的手表。
The doctor suspected that he was ill with flu. 医生怀疑 / 认为他得了流感。

这时 doubt 更多用于否定句或疑问句中。
如：
I don't doubt that he is right. 我确信他是对的。
I didn't doubt that he would come. 我当时相信他会来的。
Why did she doubt that they were cheats？ 她为什么怀疑他们是骗子？

三 . doubt 用于肯定句中时，多接 whether/if 引导的从句，意义与 that 从句不同，这时意为“不敢肯定（ feel uncertain about ）”。而 suspect 不可接这种从句。
例如：
I doubt whether/if he'll come. 我不敢肯定他来不来。
It's raining hard. I doubt whether it will be fine tomorrow. 雨下得很大，我不敢说明天会晴。

四 . 其他搭配：
doubt 可作不及物动词，用于 doubt of sth； suspect 用于 suspect sth to be， suspect sb of（doing） sth .例如：She never doubted of his success. 她从不怀疑他的成功。
I suspected him to be the spy. 我认为他就是那个间谋。
What made you suspect her of having taken the money？ 你凭什么怀疑钱是她偷的？

Answer 2

首先分析本句提到的几个实体：
Christ，通常不接crash down，排除
ceiling和room都用于描述over和around的原因
所以about to crash down修饰主语It追问

这是个什么词性修饰it？能否大概翻译一下

追答

省略成分(it is) about to crash down

追问

不是很明白，一句话有两个主谓句吗？

追答

你可以把with Christ tipping toward you这个插入成分去掉再分析看看

It was installed on a xx ceiling in xx so that it was xx, about to crash down.
