意思我懂,就是语法分析不懂。

为啥要分析语法?懂了就行。这里我看没人在意语法,都是靠语感

and counting是个习语 比如She has a collection of 500 dolls and counting. 就是说她已经有500个娃娃了,但这个数字还在继续增加

如果当成惯用语就好理解了。我就是一下子没转过来。谢谢。

感觉是counting前省略了the number is
我觉得counting前面有个省略掉的主谓语 ”it is”
主谓语同时省略的比如”Sick!” “stunning!”

楼主问的是西方小孩经常做的parsing练习,就是分析一句话里每个单词的语法角色,而不去讲这句话的意思是什么。
两个语法规则:
1. And 连接的两个东西,语法角色应该是相同的。把and连接的两者之一去掉,应该还说得通。
2. 分词可以当名词用。比如经典的to fuck the fucking fuckers. 也可以说to fuck the (people who are) fucking. 后面是现在分词当名词。这时候这个分词的主语可以省略,根据上下文infer. 补的东西必须在语法上是兼容的。
我的答案是
1. 如果and 连接的是kill的对象
killed more than 318000 american and (a number (of people) that is) counting.
把and 和前面的去掉试试确实也说得通
killed a number (of people) that is counting.
2. 如果and连接的是两句话
killed more than 318000 american and (the number is) counting.
考虑到and counting是个俗语,应该和前面的数字结合更紧密,我倾向按1理解。如果按2理解,你其实没学到新东西。按1理解我们还可以这么写
31800 and counting are being killed by covid-19.
不管怎么样,counting的主语都是number.

分析语法的话,那么LZ就是问句子成分--主谓宾定状补
这个“习语”是啥?
