OG上的解释 This sentence describes two sequentially ordered indicators by which the results of a company’s cost
cutting measures can be seen. The first indicator to be identified, a 5 percent increase in profits, occurred after the indicatormentioned next. The sentence therefore needs toclarify the sequence by presenting the first-identifiedindicator in a clause with a verb tense that indicates alater time period than the verb tense in the clausepresenting the second-identified indicator.即两个动作在一个句子中时要使用不同时态以区分顺序.
