标题: 请教og158,谢谢

158.With only 5 percent of the world's population, United States citizens consume 28 percent of its
nonrenewable resources, drive more than one-third of its automobiles, and use 21 times more water per
capita than Europeans do.
(A) With
(B) As
(C) Being
(D) Despite having
(E) Although accounting for


答案是E,ETS说表达转折意识,想请问C为什么不对呢?如果也加上although,是不是就对了呢?如果本句没有转折意思,C是不是也对呢?


谢谢

我试试解释一下. 如果选c, 作为分词短语修饰, 就成了United States citizens  are only 5 percent of the world's population, 逻辑意思不对!

斑竹,我问的是C啊,不是D

3楼的能解释一下,为什么用分词不对呢?

being和accounting for不是都表达美国人口占世界人口的5%吗?

只是缺少一个转折意思吗?

MM不要急,pumpkin斑竹这两天听托福过量,以至眼花,还请谅解。

参考这个帖子,或许有用。http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=23&ID=56642

另:发贴前请‘搜索’,谢谢!

嗯,谢谢两位斑竹,看来还是有点受汉语的影响,比如说“美国人占世界人口的5%”或“美国人是世界人口的5%”,好像口语中都可以,所以选C和E犹豫了。

那请问斑竹,是不是表达这种统计数据,都用accout for啊?


作者: rt316    时间: 2004-7-10 12:39
sorry,这个倒是没有做过统计,不过在这种情况下用account for就先记住吧。

I think this one is idiomatic.  If you have two cakes in the room, you don't say "The cake on the left has 50% of the cakes in this room."  Instead, you say "The cake on the left accounts for 50% of the cakes in this room."

為什麼我覺得不能選C的原因就只是因為being並不能夠傳達"contrast"的語感呢?也就是說需要有although字眼才能使句子通順.其實OG也只點明這個錯誤原因, 並未提到being有無問題...

不過如果是這樣,那although being only 5% of the world's population,.....算對嗎?

先感謝NN回答囉^^

In my opinion, it is the subject that decides whether to use have or account for.

China has the population of 1 bn.

The population of China is 1 bn.

But we cannot say "China citizens have/are the population of 1 bn."

为什么although可以引导不完整的句子?
作者: echopp    时间: 2009-5-6 14:20

同问,although是一个连词,为什么可以接分词呢,应该接一个句子才对啊,我上来首先排除的就是E。

如果although/even though/while/if/etc的主語和主句的主語一樣, 那從句的主語可以省+接分詞
