(A) Japan received huge sums of capital from the United States after the Second World War, using it to help build

(D) Japan’s huge sums of capital received from the United States after the Second World War were used to help it in building
(E) Receiving huge sums of capital from the United States after the Second World War, Japan used it to help build

答案是C
这个to help build总是觉得怪怪的，请问大虾该如何解释

use...to do sth,   help (to ) do sth,

braveMBA

sb use sth to do sth. 这是固定搭配。我倒觉得C中的那个it有些多余，怪怪的，完全可以省略。

lavie

it不能省，它是这个定语从句的主语...(that) it received from the United States...

sb receive sth from sb
但sth is received from sb就好像没有见过，念起来也不顺口

braveMBA

1、定语从句才应该省略IT
2、这里如果是分词recieved from修饰，更好。

I agree with Lavie. I don't think you can omit "it" since it refers to "Japan" not "captial". At least something is confusing here, that's why it cannot be omitted.

"help to do sth" 中的 "to"可以省略的，谢谢勤劳的心静
对于"it"的讨论，我倒是觉得省略或否都可以
如果不省略“it"是从句主语代表小日本
如果省略是分词修饰capital
不知道各位怎么看？

lavie

这里receive表示the act of taking，极少用于被动语态，我找了很多字典都没有找到它用在被动句里的例句

received这个词也有，但它的意思是

1）[adj]  widely accepted as true or worthy; 例如 "a received moral idea"; "Received political wisdom says not; surveys show otherwise"- Economist

2）[adj]  (linguistics) conforming to the established language usage of educated native speakers; 例如 "Received standard English is sometimes called the King's English" (British)

关于那个IT，我觉得如果脱离开这道题，C并不是一个最好的表达方式，分词修饰要比省略了THAT的定语从句要简洁。

在我见过的题目里，定语从句少了THAT的几乎都是错。为什么这里冒出来一个EXCEPTION.....
