圖檔

The computer company registered a $16 million net loss for the year,largely because it was profitable only overseas, where much of their profits were used for paying higher taxes, while continuing to lose money in the North America.

A) where much of their profits were used for paying higher taxes, while continuing
B) where much of their profits went to pay higher taxes, as they continued
C) where much of its profit went to pay higher taxes, while it continued
D) with much of their profits going to pay higher taxes, while continuing
E) with much of the profit used for paying higher taxes, as it continued

請教一下,
題目裡頭的while是解釋成"when.."的意思嗎?
還有為什麼用D選項的with不行呢?
是因為while後面少了it會造成句意不清嗎?

補key上題目了感謝~

problems of chice D:
1. with 介係詞片語,修飾不清
2. their 指代錯誤,應該指The computer company,所以代名詞用it

BTW:後面的while it, it 也是指 The computer company

請問:
while it continued
while continuing
as it continued

個人認為 while it continued 在主詞相同的情況下可以省略成 while continuing (Ving表主動)有什麼句意上的不同嗎?
while 與 as 有什麼語意上些微的差異?

"while it continued 在主詞相同的情況下可以省略成 while continuing" 差別在前者有時態(然而),後者較為動態(同時).

while 表示對比 or "雖然".
as 作連接詞翻譯成"當"(表示條件),"如同"(表示比較).

The computer company registered a $16 million net loss for the year,largely because it was profitable only overseas, where much of their profits were used for paying higher taxes, while continuing to lose money in the North America.

A) where much of their profits were used for paying higher taxes, while continuing
B) where much of their profits went to pay higher taxes, as they continued
C) where much of its profit went to pay higher taxes, while it continued
D) with much of their profits going to pay higher taxes, while continuing
E) with much of the profit used for paying higher taxes, as it continued

(A) their => its; for => to; continuing 的主詞是 much 句意不合理
(B) their => its; they => it
(C) where {much ... while it...} 是一個子句,主詞 = much; while 子句主詞不同, it 不能省略 (句子沒有贅字,這是正確的)
(D) while 連接詞,需要子句,不能用 with
(E) as 連接詞,需要子句,不能用 with

Dibert, 恕我多話 :PP
代名詞單複數是這裡主要考點沒問題, (A)(B)不需討論

我也同意while 後面it不可省, 但我的原因不同想跟你討論, 希望別覺得我多嘴呀(畢竟我已經不考了, 感覺可能比較鈍)
(C) =>當把it省略後, continued會改成分詞ving形式, 我記得OG哪裡曾經說過分詞形式有時候會造成"時態不清", 有可能ving是主動或是表示進行式

(D)(E)我覺得不是像你說的- "while和as需要子句",
with在這裡引導片語的插入句, 句子其實是完整的, 我的想法是因為with通常表主句伴隨狀態, 或是主句主語擁有的, 是一種"順帶說明", 表示沒那麼重要的資訊
with在這裡應該和where比, 根據句意, 會發現是在說明oversea的細節;
用with的話, 可能修飾 it was profitable only overseas 或是 The computer company registered.... 就沒那麼清楚了, 所以在這裡句意較模糊的情形之下不能選with的答案

另一個點是while V.S. as
=>我個人是覺得這裡while的意思比較像對等連接詞的"然而", 因為前面講的是公司賺錢的那塊, 後面講的是賠錢的那塊, 有對等的感覺; 所以我覺得while會比as 能表達出對等的句意

歡迎討論 :smile

感謝補正! 還希望多多討論,讓更多人有機會從其它角度來看問題.

(C) 的確.同意對 Ving 的解讀.

從 with 的觀點下手也可.是的, with 問題正是修飾對象不清楚 ( i.e. 修飾 because...? 主要子句?); with 不太像修飾 overseas (i.e. overseas 應該不會 with...)
這樣一來, while... 就不確定是修飾主要子句,還是 because..., 變成 fragment 的情況.
另外一個理解是 ..., with {much... , while... } => with 不能承受一個句子,所以 with 不合理.
所以, with 的問題多多.

同意 while/as 的解讀. while 表示對比,通常翻譯成"然而", 這裡是對比沒錯.

大家好 第一次po文 希望大家可以跟我一起討論增進對這些rule的了解.

關於S+V, while ving的用法困擾了我一個下午, 查遍CD, PP筆記, 還有傷咖的討論區, 最後在Manhattan GMAT裡面看到一個比較合理的答案.

following context are sources from Manhattan GMAT tutor Ronpurewal, if there's any legal infringement, please inform.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-1) 'while' can be used as a subordinating conjunction, to indicate contrast.
if it is used in this sort of way, it MUST be used with another CLAUSE (i.e., not just a participle).
for instance:
while i had anticipated a disturbance, i had no idea it would be so big. --> correct
while anticipating a disturbance, i had no idea it would be so big. --> incorrect

2) 'while' can be used to express simultaneity (i.e., X happened during Y).
if there is no change of subject, then the preferred construction is a participle.
while sleeping on the train, i dreamt of a seven-foot-tall fairy goddess --> preferred
while i slept on the train, i dreamt of a seven-foot-tall fairy goddess --> not preferred, although probably still ok

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
換句話說
SV, while ving的形式 只能套用在"同時發生的時候" X happened during Y.
建議大家可以參考 PPI 125 & PPI 130.

一點淺見, 如果各位大大有看到違反的例子, 請提供.
