此题的答案是选E，可是我对整句话不是太理解，可否帮我翻译一下，“the collateral against which farmers borrow to get through the harvest season”这句话是做什么成分啊？

1stzhang

the collateral against which farmers borrow to get through the harvest season是插入成分，用来解释farm equipment and land。

中文的意思是：农业装备和土地的贬值使得很多借钱人紧缩或拒绝赊帐，而农民依靠农业装备作为抵押品可以借钱度过收获的季节，

thank you

the collateral against which farmers borrow to get through the harvest season

还原成主谓结果是否是：farmers borrow against the collateral to get to through the harvest season...........

请问 borrow against 有特殊含义或特定搭配吗？

我想应该是: 倚靠....借(钱) 的意思.

中文意思是否是这样的：作为担保的农具和土地的贬值使得很多借钱人紧缩或拒绝赊帐，而这些担保的农具和土地是农民们借来用以渡过收获季节的。

请nn斧正！

against collateral果然是固定搭配
loan against collateral 抵押贷款；担保贷款

词霸上有loan against collateral ------- 抵押贷款,  是固定搭配

所以 borrow (money) against collateral ------- 抵押借款

应该也是固定搭配,仅仅只是动作发出方向发生了变化而已.
