用推文好像没把意思写清楚，我回复一下:
Determined a bout of the flue wouldn`t ruin his only chance to see his son
and daughter.
这个句子如果真的是分词构句的话，其实应该是" ,determined (that) a bout of the
flue wouldn't ruin his only chance to see his son and daughter."。(注意开头
的大小写还有标点符号)
然后整句还原出来就是
"He was determined that a bout of the flue wouldn't ruin his only chance to
see his son and daugther."
但如果真的是像原PO写的那样...那也就只有两个可能(其实我怀疑不太会有人把句子缩成
最后那样，但就硬是分析看看好了)。
一个是"He was determined that a bout of the flue wouldn't ruin his only chance
to see his son and daugther."
另一个是"He determined that a bout of the flue wouldn't ruin his only chance
to see his son and daugther."
你会发现determined当形容词用跟determined当动词用的时候，其实都会有一个在后方
接that子句的用法，而且意思相去不远(都是说主词下定决心如何如何等等)。但如果句子
是第一个的简化(也就是把he was删去)，那句子就已经变成跟分构同型了，却又因为
句子第一个字是用大写而变得很奇怪；而且如同前面所言，把主词或者主词跟动词删
去的写法其实让句子看起来没头没尾的，所以我真的很怀疑是不是原PO的句子写错了
如果硬要说最后一个句子是分构，然后原PO"大致上"没把原句打错的话，还有一个可能是
determined后头没有加逗号，那就变成"determined,a bout of the flue wouldn't ruin
his only chance to see his son and daugther."。但这个我猜多数人都看得出来会变
成Dangling Modifiers......(句意上从前后文看，determined明显是用来修饰人，
总不可能下定决心的是a bout of the flue吧
顺带问一个问题，我总觉得应该是a bout of the flu而不是a bout of the flue，因为
a bout of通常是用来指什么什么病发作的意思。一般说流感发作了就是说a bout of the
flu，写成a bout of the flue这种用法我还是第一次看到；我特别去查了一下原文的
出处，其实原文章底下就已经标明说"THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT
BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED."，所以我会直接把a bout of the flue
当成笔误看待，不知道其他人有何看法?
