How to understand 美人只配强者拥有?

I know its meaning. But I can't understand it in grammar.
And does that means when it becomes an adage or 梗, we don't need to care about the grammar?

"美人只配(被)强者拥有" is a [(topic) + (comment/ opinion)] sentence.



(this phrase diminish the value of beauties)




It is not an adage




  • Topic: 美人 (beautiful women)


  • Comment: 只配被强者拥有 (only worthy of being owned by the strong ones)



美人 (beautiful women)



只配 (only worthy of)



被(by) omitted



强者(the strong one)



拥有 (to own)



The sentence above means "Beautiful women only deserve to be owned by the strong ones"



Substitute the topic and comment:




木棒只配給材民作武器



Topic: 木棒 (Wooden stick)



Comment: 只配給村民作武器 (only worthy of used as weapon by villagers)




~




聖劍只有英雄才配揮舞



Topic: :聖劍 (Holy sword)



Comment: 只有英雄才配揮舞 (only hero deserve to swing it)




"美人只配(被)强者拥有" is different from "只有强者才配拥有美人" (only the strong ones deserve to own beautiful women). Which is a [SVO] sentence




只有强者才配拥有美人 (only the strong ones deserve to own beautiful women)



(this phrase elevate the status of the strong ones)




[S] = 强者 (the strong ones)



[V] = 拥有 (own)



[O] = 美人 (beautiful women)



只有 ~ 才 ~ is a conjunction (only)



配 (worthy of) is an adverb for the verb 拥有 (own)

    It is not an adage. It is a correct sentence.

    配 originally means "match", derived for meaning "deserve".

    Therefore, this sentence should be a passive sentence meaning: "Beauties should only be deserved by the strongs to own" (literally, word-to-word) or "Only the strongs deserve beauties" (native).

    • The sentence in OP's post means "Beauties only deserve to be own by the strongs " It is different from "Only the strongs deserve beauties" the first one stating "Beauties is not worth anything other than be owned by heroes " and the second one means " Only hero is worthy of owning beauties, no one else does"

    • 美人只应被强者拥 (beauties should only be owned by the strongs) would match "Only the strongs deserve beauties" better

    "美人只配强者拥有"




    I have a different opinion about the sentence here. If you think deep, it doesn't seem to be logical. Usually, 只配 is used in a active voice, as in 你只配给我提鞋. Used in a passive is a bit odd in my opinion.



    However, if I heard it, I would think it means the same as 只有强者才配拥有美人.

              "美人只配强者拥有"




              I have a different opinion about the sentence here. If you think deep, it doesn't seem to be logical. Usually, 只配 is used in a active voice, as in 你只配给我提鞋. Used in a passive is a bit odd in my opinion.



              However, if I heard it, I would think it means the same as 只有强者才配拥有美人.
