OG 53
There is no consensus on what role, if any, is played by acid rain in slowing the growth or damaging forests in the eastern United States.
(A) slowing the growth or damaging
(B) the damage or the slowing of the growth of
(C) the damage to or the slowness of the growth of
(D) damaged or slowed growth of
(E) damaging or slowing the growth of

请问答案E中的damaging or slowing the growth of forests应理解为：1）damaging or slowing的对象是the growth of forests，还是2）damaging forests or slowing the growth of forests.

成长能毁坏吗?能毁坏的只是森林,成长只能减缓,呵呵.我是用白勇的口气在说,哈哈

如果A改为 slowing the growth of or damaging 是不是比E更优选呢？

g4yLee

真会钻牛角.你不觉得这样forests离the growth of 有点远吗?脑子判断不出来的时候就用嘴,读一下,哪个顺就选哪个,呵呵,这是我的经验.

damage growth 就意味着没有增长~~~~为什么不可以呢？

tianwan

jerryguan的观点有道理，顶一下。

小彩

根据longman电子字典的解释和例子，似乎damage只用于damage某样事物，比如surface,forests，crops,value,reputation等，而不能damage某个过程，比如growth

1.       Choice D also changes the meaning of the sentence by making both damaged and slowed refer to growth.???

什么意思呀? 那 E   不也是 both damaging and slowing refer to  growth ?

请指教, thanks

着道题目偶想了半天也没有明白，那位好兄弟或好姐妹给解释一下。

用gigi的理论，应该是damaging和slowing the growth of并列，共享后面的forests
