请教一个机警引发的问题

tulipmontreal

Young people leaving school without any diploma have, since the end of the 1970s, been the first to be affected by the rise in unemployment. But young people holding a diploma, whose situation deteriorated between 1993 and 1997, have been the first to benefit from the effects of the economic upturn and improvements in conditions for entry into the workplace. However, 2000 saw a particularly marked reduction in unemployment amongst the least qualified (13).

1998 saw that (一个现象)，it but also saw that… (开始看到1998开头就给排除了，最后看看，其它的选项好像是both…and…出错)，就选了它。这个是6月机警里的.

SAW:a condensed but memorable saying embodying some important fact of experience that is taken as true by many people [syn: proverb, adage, byword]

请分析 1998 SAW是啥意思?作为一个名词还是一个动词?

1998 saw是主谓结构，拟人写法。1998看到...，相当于1998年巴拉巴拉，这个结构好像经常看到。

同楼上。一个例子可以在这个联结找到：

2000 saw largest increase in multifactor productivity since 1992.

2000年出现了自1992年来最大的多因素生产率增长。

1998 saw that (一个现象)，it but also saw that… (开始看到1998开头就给排除了，最后看看，其它的选项好像是both…and…出错)，就选了它。
