标题: 想问一下关于while的使用（具体问题）
prep2012pack 里面第20题

Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, there is a disinclination on the part of many people to recognize the decree to which their analytical skills are weak.

D. Many people, willing to admit that they lack computer skills or other technical skills, are disinclined to recognize that their analytical skills are weak.
E. Many people have a disinclination to recognize the weakness of their analytical skills while willing to admit their lack of computer skills or other technical skills.

答案是D

关于E选项，给出的解释是 E. Have a disinclination is wordy (the verb disinclined is preferred) and, when followed by while willing, creates an incomplete construction

这里说when followed by 'while willing' creates an incomplete construction 是为什么呢？

对比og12 里面的134题：
Recently implemented "shift-worker equations"based on studies of the human sleep cycle have reduced sickness, sleeping on the job, fatigue among shift workers, and have raised production efficiency in various industries.

答案 C. and fatigue among shift workers while raising

我觉得这两个句子长得很像呀，为什么前者就结构不完整呢？
如果前者换成：
Many people are disinclined to recognize the weakness of their analytical skills while willing to admit their lack of computer skills or other technical skills. 这样可以吗？

thx in advance！

while有两个意思，作连词放句首的时候表示because，放句中往往有“但是”的转折意思，但是还有个意思是“当XXX的时候”，所以放句子中间一般都是错的，容易歧义

顺便说一下OG 那个题啊，那个while是很明确的转折含义，不会有歧义。

你看前面是reduce，后面是raise，降低病假、上班睡觉和上班疲劳，提高生产效率。因此不会是“当XXX时候”的意思。

所以这两者是不同的哟~

感谢丫丫，不过我还是觉得第一题中的while的对比也很明显啊。。

今天再看，发现原来答案说的是 Have a disinclination 让句子 incomplete construction，不是while。
不过这里应该算是while前后对比不对称的问题，不是 incomplete construction呀？

如果是对比不对称，那么把E改成
Many people are disinclined to recognize the weakness of their analytical skills while willing to admit their lack of computer skills or other technical skills. 应该就没有问题喽？

yes, i think so

while+ adj/ving/ved is a legal structure given that the implied subject is reasonable

谢谢！我也觉得OG说incomplete一开始我理解有偏差。看到你的解释，一致了，应该说是对比不平行更好理解；说incomplete只会让人觉得是语法上不允许while接分词啊
