Nothing to worry about 不定式做后置定语，其中先行词是逻辑宾语或逻辑主语 nothing to fear something to eat anything to drink
the man to finish the job the first man to（尤其是有限定词的情况）
The rough road across the plain soon became so bad that we tried to get Bruce to drive back to the village we had come from.
这一句中有很多小的语法成分。across the road介词短语做后置定语 soon状语，位置看似随意中带着语感色彩。 so..that结果状语从句
get sb to do sth :persuade/advise sb to do 迫使某人做某事 ; 让某人去做某事 ; 使得某人去做某事 Please get them to finish the work as quickly as possible.
village 这个先行词作了from的宾语，因此在village与从句之间省略了关系代词that/which。 但不可用关系副词where。（where=from which） …to drive back to the village where we had come.
Even though the road was littered with boulders and pitted with holes, Bruce was not in the least perturbed.
