请NN指教,with的用法

携隐

MM不要着急。with问题好像这两天另外一个帖子也有争论。我给一点我的看法，具体用法还等NN们来解释。

你举的OG例子里，rice和wheat那个，OG的解释不是说with的问题，initial clause指的是in addition to having。。。这个从句，跟with没有关系的。

with介词短语在句首，一般作状语，这时应该是有逻辑主语的吧。with短语在句中大部分情况是作后置定语，修饰就近的名词，这时不存在逻辑主语问题。至于在句尾－－要看具体情况。基本上，短一点的就是作定语，长的可能作状语。呵呵。

应该是的吧.语法书里说with作"方式/手段"用.看看这样能不能帮你解题?还有pumpkin曾经就with写过一些解释:

又一个with的例子：

212. The Baldrick Manufacturing Company has for

several years followed a policy aimed at decreasing operating costs and improving the efficiency of its distribution system.

(A)  aimed at decreasing operating costs and improving

(B)  aimed at the decreasing of operating costs and to improve

(C)  aiming at the decreasing of operating costs and improving

(D)  the aim of which is the decreasing of operating costs and improving

(E)   with the aim to decrease operating costs and to improve

The best choice, A, offers an adjective phrase unequivocally modifying policy and exhibiting grammatical parallelism (decreasing ... and improving). In choice B, the gerund the decreasing is not grammatically parallel with the infinitive to improve. Likewise, in C and D, the decreasing of... costs is not parallel with improving the efficiency. In E, the infinitives to decrease and to improve, while parallel, are less idiomatic than the prepositional phrase of decreasing ... and improving in modifying the noun aim. Also, with the aim... improve can easily be construed as referring to the Baldrick Manufac­turing Company and so does not refer unequivocally to policy.   

还有一道相似的题目，就是这两天讨论的，with the intention to。。。也是错的。当然NN给出解释说with the intention to本身就是unidiomatic的，但我想除了不惯用外，with the noun to。。。也不太用吧。
