. She was less successful after she had emigrated to New York compared to her native Germany,
photographer Lotte Jacobi nevertheless earned a small group of discerning admirers, and her photographs were eventually exhibited in prestigious galleries across the United States.
(A) She was less successful after she had emigrated to New York compared to
(B) Being less successful after she had emigrated to New York as compared to
(C) Less successful after she emigrated to New York than she had been in
(D) Although she was less successful after emigrating to New York when compared to (E) She had been less successful after emigrating to New York than in
答案是c
我想问问c整个句子是一个形容词短语吗,可为什么后面还有emigrated 和had been 这些谓语呢,
after在这里是介词还是副词还是连词?
我有两个问题:
先贴OG中对于A、C的解释:
A:Less successful... anticipates than rather than compared to . ..; a comma is insufficient to
join two independent clauses into a single sentence.
D:When compared to is an incorrect phrase to complete the comparison introduced by less.
分享一个笔记:
Ron大神关于being的用法有讲过: "Being" as an action noun is ok: Being shot is very painful; You can start a modifier with "being", if you mean something ongoing in the actual timeframe of the sentence: The model being photographed outside is my wife.
我对being的用法一直很困惑
之前看到过
1 there being
2(n.+)being+done/adj
这两种用法一定错,我没有找到第一个的解释,第二个比如说being convinced可以直接说convinced,being less successful 可以直接说less successful。(但其实我觉得being是多余的,但为什么错呢?)
另外,有人总结过being正确的用法
1。human being (OG16 119)
2。被动语态进行时(刚刷OG,还没碰到)
3。动名词(OG110)
