Question

I know,but I didn‘t want to risk the project going down the drain.
这里的 going down the drain 是 risk的宾补么?
整句话该如何翻译为好呢,

Answer 1

不是.risk (the project) going down the drain
risk doing sth 冒…的险
project 是doing sth（going down...）的主语
也就是说,虽然句子主语是人,是人在冒险,但是这个动作本身(going down)的主语是project.
这种在V-ing前面带动作主语的用法很常见.
