在坐考研英语作文真题的时候 旁边一哥们 写了一句话 instead of the football is their o

这个句子当然有问题.即使看着是倒装句,也不对.因为还原为正常语序为：Their old father is instead of the football.这是instead of最典型的错误之一.如果要翻译你说的,“老人被当球踢来踢去 他们的儿女都不想养”实际上是“像足球一样被踢来踢去”才对.所以,可以这样写：Their old father is kicked around like the footbal on the ground.如果真要说“代替足球的是他们的老父亲”,可以这样翻译：It is their old father instead of the football that is kicked around.

没主语！！！
