一个例子说清楚什么是“宾语补足语”
PART One
你如何理解下面这句话？（多选题）
We found the cat under the bed.
a. 我们发现了床下的那只猫
b. 我们在床下发现那只猫
c. 我们发现那只猫在床下
下面看答案——三个都是对的！
We found the cat under the bed.
a. 我们发现了床下的那只猫
介词词组做定语、修饰名词（cat）：
the cat under the bed
We found the cat under the bed.
b. 我们在床下发现那只猫
介词词组做状语、修饰动词（found）
found ... under the bed
We found the cat under the bed.
c. 我们发现那只猫在床下
介词词组做宾语补足语，说明宾语的具体信息（发现时，它在床下）。
found the cat under the bed
PART Two
重点来了——宾语补足语的作用，是说明或补充宾语的具体信息。
这个成分之所以难理解，在于它
（1）既和动词相关
这些动词通常涉及到对宾语的影响或改变，强调宾语的状态或身份。包括三类：
使役动词如make、have、let（让……做某事）：They let me go.
感官动词如see、hear、find（看到/听到/感到等）：We heard him sing.
促成某种状态或变化的动词，如cause、allow、keep、enable等：They kept the door closed.
（2）又和宾语相关
即说明宾语——
“是什么（用名词作宾补）”
I consider him a friend.
（=I think that he is my friend. 把他看作朋友）
“什么样（形容词/介词词组作宾补）”
She found the task easy.
（=I found that the task was easy. 发现该任务是容易的）
“做什么（不定式/分词作宾补）”
I had the car repaired.
（=I asked someone to repair the car；the car was repaired找人修车/让车被修）
PART Three
回到前面的句子——
We found the cat under the bed.
a. 我们发现了床下的那只猫
b. 我们在床下发现那只猫
c. 我们发现那只猫在床下
如何防止这个句子产生歧义呢？我们可以这样改动——
a. 我们发现了床下的那只猫（定语：床下的猫而非别的猫）
用定语从句：
We found the cat that was under the bed.
b. 我们在床下发现那只猫（状语：在床下发现的、而不是在别的地方）
改变顺序：
Under the bed we found the cat.
c. 我们发现那只猫在床下（宾语补足语：发现它时，它在床下）
用分词或不定式：
We found the cat hiding under the bed. 或
We found the cat hide under the bed.
