The passions at play were evident both inside and outside the House chamber.
请问这个at play 如何理解?
结构上,at play 和both inside and outside the House chamber 都是 The passions 的定语吗?
The passions at play were evident both inside and outside the House chamber.
at play:处在玩耍、娱乐中。介词短语作 passions 的定语。
inside and outside the House chamber:介词短语作地址状语。隔着谓语部分 were evident,它能去修饰主语、作主语的定语吗?
