(A) increased atmospheric carbon dioxide as a result of burning (B) increased atmospheric carbon dioxide resulting from the combustion of (C) increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere resulting from the combustion of (D) carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that increase from burning (E) atmospheric carbon dioxide that increased from burning
对这三对词彻底糊涂了，请赐教

1. atmospheric carbon dioxide 与 carbon dioxide in the atmosphere 没有太大区别。
2. increased 强调‘已经增加了的’；increasing 强调‘正在增加的’。
3. the combustion 强调‘燃烧的结果’；burning 强调‘燃烧的过程’。原文中当然是燃烧的结果造成CO2的增加。

其实，atmospheric 和 in the atmosphere 在意思上没有什么大区别，只不过increased atmospheric carbon dioxide强调了atmospheric 与 carbon dioxide 的关系，表明两者是密不可分的，或许就是一个专用名词；而(increased) carbon dioxide in the atmosphere强调了从属关系，表明这个CO2是in the atmosphere的，而不是in somewhere else的；或许你会将这个问题和A's B 与 B of A 结构联系起来，但是，形容词结构和属性结构是有区别的；
