标题: 老Prep1-125中的while
125. (31137-!-item-!-188;#058&004397)
The computer company registered a $16 million net loss for the year, largely because it was
profitable only overseas, where much of their profits were used for paying higher taxes, while
continuing to lose money in North America.
(A) where much of their profits were used for paying higher taxes, while continuing
(B) where much of their profits went to pay higher taxes, as they continued
(C) where much of its profit went to pay higher taxes, while it continued
(D) with much of their profits going to pay higher taxes, while continuing
(E) with much of the profit used for paying higher taxes, as it continued
答案选C。
对正确句子的结构搞不清楚:
The computer company registered a $16 million net loss for the year, largely becauseit was profitable only overseas, where much of its profit went to pay higher taxes, while it continued to lose money in North America.
Prep讲解中说的是,while表示对比。我想问,如果是对比的话,while后面的内容是跟谁的对比呢?
我怎么感觉while更像是表示“与此同时的意思”呢?如果这样的话,岂不是跟as含义一样而不能像讲解中说的那样以while与as的含义区分?
有点晕了

while的用法不向comparison,你不一定要找出谁和谁比较(当表示contrast你要找出有这层语义的存在即可)
更多的while的使用时倾向于表达一种incompatibility,就类似于although,but之类的(在总体的层面上来讲)
这里的while,你理解的没错,有同时的含义(根据语义来判断你的确可以理解为公司的在一段时间内的两种同时不同境况,一个increase,一个loss)
为什么说这题的while用得相当好?因为不仅表达出的同时的两种情况,另外更传达出了一种contrast
不知道LZ记不记得OG上的一道题,就是一个技术的引进,lowered the。。。 。。。。 and fatigue while raising the efficiency
和这题的原理是一模一样的,有时遇到问题回顾OG是一个不错的选择
