Question

Brown said he was by no means annoyed;on the contrary,he was glad to be able to make himself clearly understood.
谓语,宾语.找一下具体结构和句式.

Answer 1

前面半句的主语和谓语是Brown said,he was by no means annoyed是宾语从句.
on the contrary表示相反的意思,起连接前后两个句子的作用.
后面一个句子的主语,系语,表语是he was glad.to be able to是be glad to do sth的形式.make himself understood,make是使役动词.
布朗说他一点都不生气；相反,他为自己能够清楚地让大家理解他而感到高兴.
