prep上有一道题:Theorganic food industry has organized a successful grassroots campaign—usingWeb sites, public meetings, and also mass mailings—that have convinced theDepartment of Agriculture to change the proposed federal regulations fororganically grown food.
正确的是: using Web sites, public meetings, and mass mailings—that has convinced 为什么using前面不能加by? 谢谢~~
但请仔细体会两句话 Using his trendy hair gel again, John created yet another brilliant hair style. Using his trendy hair gel again, John got punished by the disciplinary teacher.
第一句话的using 可以用 by using 来代替,意思是通过什么样的方法,来达到什么目的。 第二句话则不能用 by using 代替。 所以在我看来using 和 by using 在某些时候是一样的,这要根据句子所表达的意思来判断using 和 by using 能否替换。
