42. The current administration, being worried over some foreign trade barriers being
removed and our exports failing to increase as a result of deep cuts in the value of
the dollar, has formed a group to study ways to sharpen our competitiveness.

C.worried about the removal of some foreign trade barriers and the failure of our exports

C为正确的答案，想问的是如果该成worrying是不是也正确，而且我觉得是应该用worrying更正确的吧，请教。

不.
OG42的解说里有提到这一点, 为免误导, 你还是去看OG权威的说法吧.

解说里有提到的吗？我刚刚的又看了一遍，Choice C also uses the idiomatic expression
worried about rather than worried over (as in A) or worrying over (as in B);
有这样的一句话，我认为它是在解释about/over的区别。
我仍然的不清楚为什么worrying about 不可以

worried means condition,while worrying means action. So we use worried.

以下是引用joywzy在2003-11-20 11:35:00的发言：
worried means condition,while worrying means action. So we use worried.

补充

worried 是adj be worried about....

worry 是动词：worry about / over

42. The current administration, being worried over some foreign trade barriers being removed and our exports failing to increase as a result of deep cuts in the value of the dollar, has formed a group to study ways to sharpen our competitiveness.

(A) being worried over some foreign trade barriers being removed and our exports failing

(B) worrying over some foreign trade barriers being removed, also over the failure of our exports

(C) worried about the removal of some foreign trade barriers and the failure of our exports

(D) in that they were worried about the removal of some foreign trade barriers and also about the failure of our exports（C）

(E) because of its worry concerning the removal of some foreign trade barriers, also concerning the failure of our exports

Choice C is best because its phrasing is parallel and concise. A, D, and E begin with unnecessarily wordy phrases. Choice C also uses the idiomatic expression worried about rather than worried over (as in A) or worrying over (as in B); worried about is preferable when describing a condition rather than an action. Whereas C uses compact and parallel noun phrases such as the removal... and the failure..., the other choices employ phrases that are wordy, awkward, or nonparallel. D is also flawed in that the plural pronoun they does not agree with the singular noun administration.fficeffice" />

所以worried作形容词可以用 worried about

作动词可以用worry about/over

请问，这里这样修改对吗？

worrying about/over the removal of some foreign trade barriers and the failure of our exports

用做动词，用分词形式

cocoabean · 发表于 2004-4-15 04:36:00

好像worried about 是more idiomatic. worry 多表一种状态V , 很少表动作.
