The government now estimates emissions in 2030 will fall just short – by 56m tonnes – of meeting its target of a 26-28% cut compared to 2005 levels if Australia doesn’t deploy Kyoto credits to hit the target.
句中fall后面的short of是干什么成分?
类似的使用方法可以举几个例子吗
谢谢回答
fall short of 是 come short of 的变体,是系表结构。意为“不符合;不足;达不到目的;缺少”。
Anything she said would fall short of my expectations. 她说的任何话都不符合我的期望。
