Beatrix Potter, in her book illustrations, carefully coordinating them with her narratives, capitalized on her keen observation and love of the natural world.
“Traders are reacting to the forecasts for extreme cold temperatures PERSISTING for the rest of the month,” said Biliana Pehlivanova, head of global natural gas and LNG research at Barclays Plc in New York. “If this weather continues, we could see prices PUSHING even higher.”
你说的情况我记得见过:
In 1997, despite an economy that marked its sixth full year of uninterrupted expansion with the lowest jobless rate in a quarter century, the number of United States citizens declaring themselves bankrupt jumped by almost 20 percent, to 1.34 million.
应该算定语?我对这种语法的名词真不了解。。不过这declaring应该就是修饰US citizens..因为谓语是后面的jumped..
但是我的感觉就是ving的考法,主要还是在(1)句尾 逗号,然后ving这个点上。。主要就是看有没修饰歧义,然后能不能当作
immediate consequence
simultaneous, but lower-priority, action"
(2)句首(当modifier, 看主语能不能发出这个动作)
有时候,句首会和主语换个位置:(就像下面这题)
Neuroscientists, having amassed a wealth of knowledge over the past twenty years about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood,are now drawing solid conclusions about how human brain grows and how babies acquire language.
但是第一个贴中的ving作修饰,我还是不是很清楚。没有comma, 那么ving form 以及后面引领的部分都作为定语修饰cold temperatures? 这个ving form到底在这里是现在分词还是从句中的部分
traders are reacting to the forecasts for extreme cold temperatures (which will be) persisting for the rest of the month
