考the first ..to do

xuli_123

能不能详细说说the first.......to do 的用法？

这里有一道题

Carnegie hall was the first building in New York designed special for orchestral music.

答案special----specially, 为什么是designed呢？ 不是the first......to do吗？

谢谢

the first sth. to do中sth.是to do 的逻辑主语，而这里design与hall是被动关系，hall是被人设计的。

还是不明白，上面那句简化为......play..... was the first drama to be produced ......

本句为什么不能简化为 hall was the first building to be designed specially for orchestral music.

是to be被省略了吗？还是别的原因？

你这个是牵扯被动的问题，和那ＦＩＲＳＴ　ＴＯ　ＢＥ　没有关系

这两道题不是一回事

前一个考的是the first sb/sth to do/be done. 强调行为，to do形式上是定语，实际作用是表将来时间或目的的状语。

后一个the first是个限定词，这里强调的是名词本身。后面的designed specialy for..还原以后是(that was)designed specially for... 是省略的定语从句，不表将来或目的，作用只相当于形容词。
