英語中副詞可以修飾名詞嗎?
比如那個什麼電影迷途的羔羊的電影名the lamb **後面是形容詞還是副詞；再比如「Tom alone is coming.」。這兩個具例中是否都是副詞修飾名詞且副詞置於名詞之後的結構？
例如這一句 Many investors have turned their attention to
opportunities abroad. 很多投資者把注意力轉向了國外的機會。我覺得abroad就是相當於介詞短語的成分，即abroad=outside the country，如果你將abroad視為一個介詞，就不會那麼奇怪了。------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------時間分界線
做個補充：近期發現的副詞可以參與的句子成分相關文章：副詞在句子中可用作哪些成分
因為之前一直在分析一篇現實主義長篇的語法結構，所以也陸陸續續意識到了副詞作為表語，賓語，後置定語的用法，例如：A: Is he up yet? 他起床了嗎? B: Yes, he』s up but not down. 起床了，但還沒有下樓來。還有from across the street這樣的結構。副詞在句子中可用作哪些成分
1. 用作狀語
副詞最重要的作用是用作狀語，此時它可以修飾動詞，也可以修飾形容詞或副詞等。如：
The evening passed quickly. 晚上很快過去了。
It』s quite warm here. 這兒很暖和。
He was driving rather fast. 他車開得相當快。
第一句中的副詞quickly修飾動詞passed，第二句中的副詞quite修飾形容詞warm，第三句中的副詞rather修飾副詞fast。
2. 用作表語
大部分與介詞同形的副詞可用作表語。如：
I must be off now. 我現在得走了。
The sun is down. 太陽已經落山。
The meeting is still on. 會議還在進行。
We are behind in our plan. 我們落在計劃後面了。
另外，大部分表示地點或位置的副詞也可用作表語。如：
I』ll be back tomorrow. 我明天回來。
My son is home at last. 我的兒子終於回來了。
How long will you be away? 你要離開多久。
Spring has gone and summer is here. 春天過去，夏天來了。
但是，注意了！用作表語不是副詞的主要功能，那是形容詞的主要責任。所以，你可不要隨意地濫用副詞來作表語噢！看看下面的句子，你也會犯同樣的錯誤嗎？
你穿過大街時可要小心。
誤：When you cross a main road, you must be
carefully.
正：When you cross a main road, you must be
careful.
carefully是副詞，它可用作狀語，但不能用作表語；用作表語，應改相應的形容詞careful。
3. 用作賓語
副詞用作賓語的用法十分有限，通常只用作介詞的賓語，不用作動詞的賓語，並且這類副詞通常只限於某些表示時間和地點的副詞。如：
It』s noisy in here. 這裡面很嘈雜。
He lives a long way from here. 他住得離這裡很遠。
I』ve got a letter from abroad. 我收到一封國外的來信。
即使就是可以用賓語的副詞，它們有時也有特定的搭配，不可以隨意亂套，如可以說live
around here，其意為「住在這兒附近」，但不能說come to here，應改為come here。
4. 用作賓語補足語
一般說來，能用作表語的副詞都可用作賓語補足語。如：
Ask him in, please. 請叫他進來。
We must try to help him through. 我們必須設法幫他渡過難關。
Sorry to have kept you up so late. 對不起，讓你這麼晚不能睡覺。
5. 用作定語
當你寫作的時候，如果你要選用一個詞來作定語，你會想到什麼詞？形容詞還是副詞？肯定是形容詞。我們這裡說用副詞作定語，這只是副詞的「業餘愛好」——因為用作定語不是副詞的特長，副詞最擅長作狀語。正因為副詞用作定語不是它的特長，所以副詞用作定語時的位置比較特殊，它通常不是放在被修飾名詞之前，而是放在其後。如：
The people there were very friendly. 那兒的人很友好。
Do you know the people downstairs? 你認識樓下的人嗎？
The shops around are very cheap. 附近商店的東西很便宜。
第一句中的the people there意為「那兒的人」，其中的副詞there用作定語，修飾the people；第二句中的the people downstairs意為「樓下的人」，其中的副詞downstairs用作定語，修飾the people；第三句中的the shops around意為「附近的商店」，其中的副詞around用作定語修飾the shops。
題主沒有掌握語法的真正含義
1)副詞只能修飾動詞 2)副詞以可以修飾整個句子3）副詞修飾形容詞加強程度我解釋一下副詞修飾動詞，如下：1) Read the text then answer the questions below .
2) After years overseas , I have got a good command of English .
乍一看這兩個句子中「n +adv 」的表達法，其實並不是副詞修飾名詞，真實情況是
1)Read the text then answer the questions (that are listed )below .
below 修飾實意動詞 list .2)After years (that I spent ) overseas , I have got a good command of English .
overseas 修飾實意動詞spend .語法確實很重要。。。首先回答題主的問題，可以修飾。
英語中有一類副詞叫強調語氣的副詞（Intensifiers),這一類的副詞在使用上非常有彈性，可以用來修飾名詞、動詞、形容詞以及副詞。帶來的效果就是在不同的修飾位置，意思完全不同。這一類副詞又可以細分為三種：一.強調範圍的副詞典型代表：only, merely, also, especially, particularly, even等
以Only舉例：I heard about the accident yesterday.我昨天聽說了這件意外Only I heard about the accident yesterday.只有我聽說了...
I only herad about the accident yesterday. 只是聽說，並沒有看到
I heard about only the accident yesterday.昨天全聽人在談論這件意外
I heard about the accident only yesterday.直到昨天才聽說
你看，這幾個句子里only分別修飾了代名詞I、動詞heard、名詞the accident，都是當副詞使用。
二.強調語氣的副詞
這是最典型的副詞，同樣也可以修飾名詞在內的四種主要詞類。它的位置通常要放在修飾對象的前面，舉例如下：He is very much his father"s son.他和他爸爸一個調調
You"re utterly insane! 你是完完全全瘋了
I badly need a drink.(我亟需 喝一杯）
三,程度副詞
這一類副詞和加強語氣的副詞很像，但是程度副詞是用來做有幾成的表示，而非加強語氣。所以，如果把加強語氣的副詞，只是語氣變弱，意思不會變。但是如果拿掉程度副詞，意思就可能發生改變。舉例：The project is almost finished.項目已經完成的差不多了。
如果去掉almost，這句話的意思完全變了。第三類副詞也是可以修飾名詞、動詞、形容詞和副詞的哇
舉例：You can buy practicallyanything at a mall.名詞
I can hardly hear you.動詞
The promotion was moderately successful.形容詞
I know your father rather well.副詞
題主你看，這一類的副詞確實是可以用來修飾名詞的。
希望回答您能滿意哇。特別說明：這部分內容習得於旋元佑老師《文法俱樂部》一書。副詞可以修飾名詞，或者說，存在用副詞修飾名詞的情況。也就是通常所說的副詞作定語。直接上圖
語言有不少副詞修飾名詞的例子，如：
rather a hurry
quite a fortune
about
six feet
home journey
then president
room upstairs
這些例證中有的可以明顯看出前置或後置修飾詞，有的則不十分明顯，只能將它們都視為定語了

其實我是來找答案的。但是我覺得這個overall 作後置定語修飾the public （名詞）
Tom alone is coming . 這裡的alone 是形容詞性的， 但alone 在古英語里是表示暫態的， 類似ing。所以把它放在名詞前面不合適 ，因為在名詞前面的形容詞偏重表達名詞的屬性，而暫態並不適合表達屬性。
題主的問題中涉及的兩個詞【alone, astray】既有副詞詞性也有形容詞性，且緊挨著名詞，容易造成困惑，下面我從兩個方面來分析：
一是：形容詞後置
形容詞常見的所處位置包括名詞短語中、表語、主【賓】語補語，此外還有一個位置：名詞後面
在以下三種情況，形容詞需要後置：
1、複合名詞後面，eg: someone else ，因為限定詞 some 和 名詞 one 組合成一個詞，原本名詞短語中在限定詞和名詞之間存放形容的位置被擠壓掉了，因此只能把形容詞後置了
2、一批【不是全部】a-開頭的形容詞 ，這一類詞一般放在補語位置，也可以放在名詞後面
3、外來詞或者慣用法 ， eg: Secretary General , Poet Laureate 等
二、副詞修飾名詞的情況
一般表示強調功能的副詞，可以修辭名詞、動詞、形容詞和副詞，修辭範圍很廣，正因為如此，所以這類副詞只能放在修飾詞前面，確保修辭對象在其後面，以免出現歧義。詳細的分析可以參考 @笨拙的自由的回答，已經很詳細了。
綜上，題主提出的例句屬於形容詞後置中的第二種情況。
我也碰到這麼一個句子，句子本身很簡單，但是為什麼用ostensibly而不用ostensible（第六行）,請大神們解答，對了，這個句子出處是經濟學人雜誌 @魏劍峰
不可以阿..副詞修飾形容詞 你要用形容詞來修飾名詞的..比如this is a absolutely(adv) stupid(adj) idea (n.) 你不總能說this is a stupidly idea吧.. 或者你也可以說this is a absolute(adj) idea(n.) (有點怪但語法上沒錯) 或者this is absolutely(adv) stupid(adj)
