If the proposed expenditures for gathering information abroad are reduced even further, international news reports have been and will continue to diminish in number and quality.

(A) have been and will continue to diminish

(B) have and will continue to diminish

(C) will continue to diminish, as they already did,

(D) will continue to diminish, as they have already,

(E) will continue to diminish
是不是说，have..and continue这种用法，永远错？英文里没有类似我们中文里：已经减少，并还要减少下去这种用法？

请大牛帮忙解释

前面用了If... are，所以后面肯定得是will，这样A，B，E就排除了，答案应该是D吧，现在完成时。

E...

Continue is a special verb, no past perfect nor present perfect tense is used.

同意LS选E

c吧？

个人看法哈先声明本人语法很凄惨

好像continue这词本身就含有了 LZ想表达的“现在已经XX，并还要XX下去”下去的含义了没必要再用完成时表达“现在已经XX” 属于重复了

E看起来至少是比较简洁的而且也恰当并且合意的一个选项了

Choices A and B fail because the logic of the sentence demands that the verb in the main clause be wholly in the future tense: if x happens, y will happen. To compound the problem, the auxiliary verbs have been in A and have in B cannot properly be completed by to diminish. C, D, and E supply the correct verb form, but C and D conclude with faulty as clauses that are awkward and unnecessary, because will continue describes an action begun in the past. E is the best choice.

答案是E吧？
will + continue =以前就这样了
再多说一边就redundant
