Dr.Melendez is not just our best surgeon.He is one of the TOPs in the entire country,with the expertise to know that the best way to avoid a truly bad outcome in this procedure is to err on the side of caution.
请问这里with短语时TOPs的非限制性定语吗？with短语中，不定式to know是expertise的定语吗？若是定语那expertise和to know是同位关系吗？
with介词短语可以理解为非限制性定语修饰TOPs, 也可以理解为随着状语。
to know显然是expertise的限制性定语。expertise的语义为special skill or knowledge. 所以，skill或者knowledge不可能和不定式为同位关系。从语义上讲，不定式表示expertise是做某事所需要的技能或常识，而不是作某事本身。用这种常识或技能去做某事，所以expertise与不定式为动状关系。
以下例句选自COCA语料库，其结构与你的句子结构类似。你可领会不定式与expertise之间的逻辑关系。
