In D and E, the use of the passive (payments are not... expected to be paid) does not contribute meaningfully to the sentence and thus is unwarranted,

OG的这句话怎么解释,请教NN,

用被动态时必须指出动作的发出者吗?没有就算错吗?

同问，还有啥叫not contribute meaningfully?

brent_zhang

我理解是，句子中有明确的动作发出者，并且被动表达的意思并不比主动更好，所以说not contribute meaningfully：没有使句子有更丰富的含义。

我的理解是：

能主动尽量主动，在动作的发出者不明确的时候，才用被动。记得有例子的，什么能源消耗什么的。。。

pay payments不是正確的慣用語,正確的慣用語應是make payments才是

OG解释的已经很清楚: payment to be paid语意重复. 而payment to be made就不重复

惭愧，完全忽略了OG这一条解释

C中的THEY指代的是LOANS把？不是PAYMENTS?比较困惑

eXtreme

The bank holds $3 billion in loans that are seriously delinquent or in such trouble that it does not expect payments to be made when they are due.

The bank（主语） holds （谓语)$3 billion in loans (宾语）that are seriously delinquent （定语从句）or in
such trouble that it does not expect payments to be made when they are
due. （？？？）

从Or 开始后面是什么成分。大侠能否分析下这个句子的结构是怎样的？看着就糊涂了。

续问本题句法结构及指代：

这个句子乍一看挺清楚，但是多琢磨一下就犯糊涂了，请指教。

The bank holds $3 billion in loans that（引导定语从句，修饰loans） are seriously delinquent or in such trouble that(trouble的同位语从句) it does not expect payments to be made when they are due.

句中的it为什么一定是指代bank呢？最近的单数名词是trouble呀？

我也有跟你一樣的疑惑, 我覺得they應該指代loans, 會due的應該是loans, 而不是payments
