(A) slowing the growth or damaging (B) the damage or the slowing of the growth of (C) the damage to or the slowness of the growth of (D) damaged or slowed growth of (E) damaging or slowing the growth of 答案是E，但是和C相比，虽然C用了名词，但是E可能会有歧义，可能是damaging or slowing the growth of (forests)破坏森林和减慢森林的增长，也可能是damaging or slowing （the growth of forests)破坏和减慢森林的增长。所以我最后选了C更加清晰的情况。为什么呢？ 作者: yawgamoth86 时间: 2010-5-31 08:26
中间连词用的是or 表示2个分开的事件 C的话用了名词显得罗嗦，一般动词是优于名词结构的
