请问neutral在句子中的成分

Question

He remained neutral in the argument between his two friends.

还有There was nobody to direct the workmen.其中to direct the workmen作什么成分？

Answer 1

remain后接adj.时都是用作link动词,后面的成分当然是表语,in the argument between his two friends作状语
He remained neutral during the debate.
他在辩论中保持中立。

There was nobody to direct the workmen.其中to direct the workmen是不定式作后置定语,修饰nobody.

The boy to write this letter is Tom./将要写这封信的男孩是汤姆。
There is nothing to do today./今天没有事要做。

Answer 2

neutral作表语。to direct the workmen是不定式作表语补足语。

Answer 3

1.He remained neutral in the argument between his two friends.的意思是：
他在朋友间的争论中保持中立。

remain是谓语动词，后面接一个形容词，那么这个形容词就是句子中的表语,in the argument between his two friends作句子中的状语。
表语在句子中可以使n,adj,...用以说明主语的身份。在这句句子里是说明他是中立的角色。

2.to direct the workmen是不定式作后置定语来修饰前面的名词nobody.

Answer 4

表语吧。
