(A) when unaccompanied correspondingly by increases in sales, can lead
应该没有人会选A
(B) when not accompanied by corresponding increases in sales, possibly leads
(C) when they were unaccompanied by corresponding sales increases, can lead
(D) if not accompanied by correspondingly increased sales, possibly leads
(E) if not accompanied by corresponding increases in sales, can lead 在这时if 亦可换成when。
虽然也没有人会选C,但是我认为C是最难说清楚的,they were 啰嗦?这个解释让人不满意思,corresponding sales increases我刚开始读 的是“相应的销售“增长,后来一想它的意思应该是相应的“销售增长”所以可以说它是有歧义的。unaccompaniedy也有问题
”
我觉得分开来看不管是看做Gerund亦或是名词inventories都没有问题,但是搭配到accompany的对象就不行了。
我觉得改成下面的句子就可以没问题:
Rising inventories, if not accompanied by increasing sales, can lead to production cutbacks that would hamper economic growth.
不知道大家如何看?
这个看成什么并不重要,重要的是不管它是分词还是动名词还是形容词,显然这里raising是作定语啊。
这里怎么可能整体上看成是一个gerund呢?先不说没有这种结构,就算有,它是作什么成份呢?
Having failed many times,he didn't lost heart. 这里having 后边有宾语,似乎和本题很像,但是这里不是gerund。
