赞同hybo的分析!同时也同意66楼winnemashi的“主要是被动形式不好,因为有明确的主语”的看法
短语borrow (a sum of money) agaist sth.中,borrow是不及物动词(省略了其对象money),AGAINST 引导介词短语修饰borrow,表示以某种方式(抵押)来borrow.
转换为被动语态时,正确的表述应该以动词的实际对象(money)为主语,即:a sum of money is borrowed against sth;而不是sth is borrowed against。后者导致语义和语法的双重错误:第一,认为抵押物被借了;第二,介词孤单,没有宾语。
因此c选项不是简单地因使用被动语态导致错误,而是不正确地使用了被动语态导致荒谬。
borrow against sth就是以sth 作为抵押借钱...的意思
貌似不是idiom,主要是平时习惯用against来引出抵押物
参考:If you are a homeowner youcould have thousands of pounds locked up in the value of your home. But if you need to borrow, is taking out a secured loan against your home sensible orsomething to avoid at all costs?[1]
从中文意思来看 against+n表示以n作为抵押来贷款(taking out a secured loan)
在参考:抵押贷款-loan againstcollateral; loan on collateral security; loan on mortgage; loan on security; secured loan 可以看出,loan against/on 后面都可以引出抵押物,所以这是个介词的用法而已 [1]http://www.money.co.uk/loans/should-you-borrow-against-your-home.htm 在wiki搜索collateral也能看到against的用法
这里已经有明确的动作发出者farmers了,所以直接用主动语态更好
