built on to house the large number of people now living
全句是这样的：There was a shortage of accommodation,so marshland was drained and built on to house the large number of people now living there.
built on 在这个句子中是动词么?这样的话 结尾的那个living there就解释不了了
有谁能够解释一下这个句子：built on to house the large number of people now living there.
答
其实这句话的意思你得先理解 这里的house才是动词 house有房子的意思也有给。。提供住房的意思 这一点你明白了这句话就好办了 build on 是建立或建起建筑的意思
由于住房的紧缺，沼泽地里的水因此被排干,这块沼泽地被用来建给于现在住在那的大量居民住房之用。
答
built on和前面的drained是并列的,主语是marshland,即marshland was built on.这句的关键是house这个词,它不是名词,是动词.to house the large number of pepole,是目的状语,意为为了给一大群人提供住所.最后的now living there是形容people这个词的,什么人?就是现在现在住在那边的人.
