Buttheyanswered:“Frighten?Whyshouldanyonebefrightenedbyahat?”⁶Mydrawingwasnotapictureofahat.Itwasapictureofaboaconstrictordigestinganelephant.Butsince/as/becausethegrown-upswerenotabletounderstandit,Imadeanotherdrawing:Idrewtheinsideoftheboaconstrictor,sothat(以便）thegrown-upscouldseeitclearly.befrightenedof/at/by害怕...;对...感到恐惧draw-drew-drawnTheyalwaysneedtohavethingsexplained.MyDrawingNumberTwolookedlikethis:havesth.done让某事被做havethingsexplained要你跟他们解释清楚，动词复合宾语结构Wehadtheteleveisionsetmendedthismorning.You’vehadyourhaircut!We’rehavingourcarrepaired.学法点拨

在“have+something+过去分词”结构中，宾语something后面用过去分词作宾语补足语，说明宾语与过去分词表示的动作之间是被动关系。一般意为“让/请别人做某事”。另外：

“have+something+过去分词”还可表示自己主动完成某事Hehadthestovelighted.

也可以表示意外或不幸遭遇了某事Hehadhisbagstoleninthemarket.⁷
