In 1990, world-famous physicist Stephen Hawking read papers of his colleagues proposing their version of a time machine, but he was immediately, skeptical. His intuition told him that time travel was not possible because there are no tourists from the future. Hawking also raised a challenge to the world of physics. There ought to be a law, he proclaimed, making time travel impossible.
The embarrassing thing, however, was that no matter how hard physicists tried, they could not find a law to prevent time travel. Apparently, time travel seems to be consistent with the known laws of physics. Unable to find any physical law that makes time travel impossible, Hawking has recently changed his mind. He made headlines in the British papers when he said, “Time travel may be possible, but it is not practical.”
Some cute animals bring a lot of tourists to zoos. という文は第3文型と考えてよいでしょうか。
bring は第3文型と第4文型、両方の使い方ができますが、上記の文は第4文型のSome cute animals bring zoos a lot og tourists. と書き換えられますか？間接目的語は人だと習ったので、違和感があるのですが。
