175. Two new studies indicate that many people become obese more due to the fact that their bodies burn calories too slowly than overeating.
(A) due to the fact that their bodies burn calories too slowly than overeating
(B) due to their bodies burning calories too slowly than to eating too much
(C) because their bodies burn calories too slowly than that they are overeaters
(D) because their bodies burn calories too slowly than because they eat too much（D）
(E) because of their bodies burning calories too slowly than because of their eating too much
OG说：Choice E uses parallel forms, but the convoluted structures are awkward and wordy. Furthermore, the word bodies would need an apostrophe (bodies’) since it is the logical subject of the gerund burning
我想，即使将选项E改成：because of their bodies' burning calories too slowly than because of their eating too much也不对，
因为OG还会说Choice E uses parallel forms, but the convoluted structures are awkward and wordy？选项E怎么就出现了 旋绕结构是笨拙和多余啊？ 多多帮助啊
这种冠冕堂皇的话，偶通常就理解为罗嗦。靠语感，读读看，听起来顺不顺。
突然想到"convoluted"是不是可以理解成偶们通常说的“饶舌”？
D-because their bodies burn calories too slowly than because they eat too much
E改-because of their bodies' burning calories too slowly than because of their eating too much
首先看E，their bodies' burning calories too slowly和their eating too much，句中的两个ing结构其实都是作为动作性的分词结构，换言之，because of后的结构是一个带有动词性质的复合名词结构，对于这样的结构，我们认为不是一个简单结构，而because of后一般只能跟简单结构，比如：because of your suggestion, becuase of his illness；所以，当出现前述那种复杂的名词结构时，ETS侧重于使用更为精确的表达because + 句子；当然，because的优先考虑原则通常时适用于考试迅速排除选项。
the word bodies would need an apostrophe (bodies’) since it is the logical subject of the gerund burning
是什么意思啊，我怎么都无法理解……
谢谢
their bodies burning calories本身的表述就有问题
假如你用they 代替thier bodies 就句就变成了they burning calories 而不是their buring calories .明白了
所以这里their bodyies 应该加所有格

那这样的话e中的slowly 是形容什么的呢 觉得对e地解释好奇怪
原来自己一直是这么理解的，虽然说意思比较BT
because of their bodies （burning calories too slowly） than because of their eating too much

OG新版的解释bodies must be bodies’ because the possessive case is required before a gerund．
还是不懂其中的意思要用所有格
可不可以看成their bodies which burn calories改为theri bodies burnnig calories
麻烦指点一下，谢谢！！

because I am fat***-->because mine fatness (例子亂舉的)
所以如果要把D because their bodies burn 改成 because of 則要變成
because of their boides' buring...
不知道是不是你要問的呢
because + clause
because of +n.
more because of their bodies' burning calories too slowly than because of
their eating too much
红色的部分是平行对称的,都用所有格.
我想问的是关于due to的省略问题.请问下面哪句话对:
Our declining health is more due to the polluted air than due to the polluted water.
Our declining health is more due to the polluted air than to the polluted water. 省略due
Our declining health is more due to the polluted air than the polluted water. 省略due to
