请教:OG253

小I爱漂漂

253. Analyst blamed May's sluggish retail sales on unexiciting merchandise as well as weather, which was colder and wetter than usual in some regions, slowing sales of barbecue grills and lawn furniture.

请问, slowing在这里做什么成分呀? 用什么是ING形式呢? 是which is/are slowing的省略吗?另外259题好象也是这种,

259, Five fledging sea eagles left their nests in western Scotland this summer, bringing to 34 the number of wild birds successfully raised since transplants from Norway began in 1975.

这个和上面的253题是一样的思路吗? 解释上面说是什么"cause and effect" .不太明白...

我认为，253 表伴随结果。 259 表伴随方式。 请指正。

253 & 259 是一样的，现在分词短语表结果，前面整个一段话的影响。

259. cause:　Five fledging sea eagles left their nests in western Scotland this summer

　　effect:   bringing to 34 the number of wild birds

同意joe11的意见，两个都是表示结果，其逻辑主语为前面整个句子！

小弟認為253與259不盡相同，因為OG解釋並不同。253中無提到cause-effect之概念，而在錯誤的c選項中給了以下解釋：

(C) since it was colder and wetter than usually in some regions, which slowed

In C, the adjective usual is needed in place of the adverb usually, and the referent of which is unclear because regions, not weather, is the nearest noun.

該解釋暗示了由which slowed~ 的which應修飾weather而為避免指代錯誤，所以改為分詞結構。
