they denounce big government, saying government is doing too much and has become too powerful, while at the same time supporting many specific government programs for health care, education, and the environment.
while做conj,表示although的意思。 由於while引導的主句和從句主語相同-they,因為while後面可以省略[they are]。所以while後面是有謂語的-are supportting,只是are被省略了。

谢谢!! 我认为这个解释比较合理。找到一个类似的帖子 http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_SC/thread-359663-1-1.html
prep的说明是这样的:
补充说明:while的特殊用法
In writing, people often use a non-finite clause beginning with while. For example, instead of writing “I often knit while I am watching TV.”, they write “I often knit while watching TV.”
连词while引导时间状语从句,有时可有成分省略(通常是在从句与主句的主语相同时,也可以说连词引起一个单词或短语,如跟形容词、介词短语或现在分词等)。
这么看来的话不一定只是时间状语从句时是这样,包括转折状语从句也是了。 |
