42. The current administration, being worried over some foreign trade barriers being removed and our exports failing to increase as a result of deep cuts in the value of the dollar, has formed a group to study ways to sharpen our competitiveness.
(A) being worried over some foreign trade barriers being removed and our exports failing
(B) worrying over some foreign trade barriers being removed, also over the failure of our exports
(C) worried about the removal of some foreign trade barriers and the failure of our exports
(D) in that they were worried about the removal of some foreign trade barriers and also about the failure of our exports(C)
(E) because of its worry concerning the removal of some foreign trade barriers, also concerning the failure of our exports
Choice C is best because its phrasing is parallel and concise. A, D, and E begin with unnecessarily wordy phrases. Choice C also uses the idiomatic expression worried about rather than worried over (as in A) or worrying over (as in B); worried about is preferable when describing a condition rather than an action. Whereas C uses compact and parallel noun phrases such as the removal... and the failure..., the other choices employ phrases that are wordy, awkward, or nonparallel. D is also flawed in that the plural pronoun they does not agree with the singular noun administration.fficeffice" />

刚想发帖,发现有人讨论。
疑问是:按照现在分词表主动进行,过去分词表被动完成原则,这里worried about...不就变成了The current administration was worried about。。。被动?
还是象前面牛牛所说的worried here acts as an adjective, and the so-called 公理,现在分词表主动进行,过去分词表被动完成,is still correct???
还是搞不懂worried和worrying的区别。记得初中教科书上有对interesting和intereted等相关ing和ed形式形容词的总结。谁能在总结总结。
急啊。

-ing: 事情/东西令你/某人感到。。。通常物作主语
-ed: 你/某人感到。。。通常人做主语
我的感觉是这个词类似于exciting和excited,如果是形容人的状态,用be动词的时候就用be worried/excited.这也是最常见的用法。
楼上madtears引用的例句当中,基本上都是be worried的情况。而后面一句
Dad worries over the slightest thing
是没有be动词而直接作动词用的情况。
回到本题中,此处的插入语补全了我觉得应该是
the current administration who is worried about ...
不知道对不对。
我认为worried about表示的是一种状态;worrying over/about 表示现在正在进行的动作,相比之下,worried about更加合适。
-ing: 事情/东西令你/某人感到。。。通常物作主语
-ed: 你/某人感到。。。通常人做主语
同意

同意!另外有个疑问,“,worried about。。。”即答案里无主语,可否认为这是个独立主格结构?与前边的Administration为同一主语?
OG11中说到不支持 worry over 的用法
worry 还有一个及物动词的用法
在朗文里查到的
例句:The recent changes in the Earth's climate are beginning to worry scientists.
可能有些帮助!
另一个问题:这一类名词(failure, removal....)前面什么情况下需要加the,什么情况不用加the?
