以上解释合情合理，但是将这一原则用到以下句子中：Contrary to earlier conjectures, it may be that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels would cool the globe by reducing the amount of solar energy  absorbed by snow.
                   by rducing 中reducing的执行者岂不是globe了？这......

1. by doing本身没错.但by using如果作为一个词组的话没有with合适.既by using < with.

2. investor use the company’s earnings to pay off the debt 本身不符合逻辑.

3. to do1 with sth1 and to do2 by sth2 更平行一些.

也许我成了惊弓之鸟了，被ETS搞怕了（上次就败在语法上了），所以现在我不得不去一点点地弄清楚任何语法点。

以下是引用sbbi在2003-11-4 11:24:00的发言：

investor use the company’s earnings to pay off the debt 本身不符合逻辑？也许是我理解错了，我觉得earnings 的逻辑主语应该是inverstors.

sbbi

investor hopes (the company) to pay of the debt. so the company is the logical subject of using (if we have to use 'using')

Thanks , sbbi!

From sbbi: investor hopes (the company) to pay of the debt. so the company is the logical subject of using (if we have to use 'using')?

Disagree!      ls see the question:

In a leveraged buyout, investors borrow huge sums of money to buy companies, hoping to pay off the debt by using the company’s earnings and to profit richly by the later resale of the companies or their divisions.

The topic is: In a leveraged buyout, investors borrow money to buy companies, hoping to pay off (investors') debt by using the company’s earnings and to ( investors) profit richly by the later resale of the companies or their divisions.

我觉得债主子不能用欠债人的收入还债.否则就成南霸天了
只有欠债人那自己的收入还去债

There is another clue: "In a leveraged buyout",  it means borrowing  less money then profiting from the sale.
Therefore, the "debts" means " investors borrow huge sums of money".
