标题: [讨论]og-39
39. For members of the seventeenth-century Ashanti nation in Africa, animal-hide shields with wooden frames were essential items of military equipment, a method to protect warriors against enemy arrows and spears.
a method to protect
as a method protecting
protecting
as a protection of
to protect
我的问题是:1、ETS为什么说“a method of protecting would be more idiomatic than a method to protect in A”?to protect 放在 a method之后做定语表示目的不行吗?
2、B中的as为什么不对呢?看了以前的讨论还是不太明白。
谢谢!

to do表示主语动作的目的,a method to do sth不合乎逻辑,因为a method不能表达to do这个目的,我们可以说Hegave me a suggestion to let me know...,因为主语he是可以连接to do这个目的的,所以a methodof结构中of后的成分作定语解释method的内容是比较合理的表达;
as a method protecting显然是个状语成分,而状语是修饰句子的,所以,animal-hide shields wereessential items这个主句结构和as a methodprotecting这个状语成分就显得不配合,因为主句仅仅表达shields是个东西,而不是method;或许我们可以换一种能够接受的表达:They used animal-hid shields to defend enemies, a method ....

那可否把a method 理解成新名词来表示前面一句话对后面的影响?
