THAT肯定是修饰phosphates 做 dump的宾语 按照LZ的说法 如果是AMOUNT 那么就是 DUMP AMOUNT 倒的只能是垃圾 不能是量作者: bestrichie 时间: 2010-4-2 08:46
我也在纠结这个题，做大全的时候出现了这个题目，987—2，它的答案就是A 其实我倾向于A 反倒觉得D时态不正确 请NN们解答作者: marshallzhu 时间: 2011-4-20 19:32
reduce 为什么一定要用 过去式？has reduced 不行么？ 既然选D用are allowed，表明至今仍可以dump,那agreement 就从颁布后一直在减少（reduce），所以我觉得用has reduced的表明过去发生的事情一直持续到现在很合理啊~~ 大家怎么看？？作者: 陶然异面直线 时间: 2012-8-5 16:44
我也在纠结！！为什么不是A，减少的不是以前倒的么作者: 666666666667 时间: 2016-12-18 12:13
RON: "Reduce" is not an ongoing state of existence. It's something that happens at one particular point in time.
Reduce 不可持续的动作
TIM: as for A, in the same sense that you cannot go back in time and change how much was dumped, you cannot go back in time and change how much was allowed. you can only change how much was allowed from that point forward..
GUEST: It should be D. You cannot reduce the amount of phosphates that 'had been allowed' because that dumping has already been done. You can only reduce the amount that can be dumped from now on. Only D makes it clear.
RON: If this still doesn't make sense to you, put a (pre-1972) year on them. E.g., the amounts that were specified in 1969.
Perhaps that will make it more clear"”you can't reduce the amounts that were specified in 1969, because they were specified in 1969. (The current figure can represent a diminution from those historical figures, but a diminution of those figures is impossible; we can't change history.) Same issue here.
