[A級垂耳兔]

Manufacturin on a large scale was suppressed in the British colonies in America in order to inhibit competition and keep the colonies economically depending on England to be the source of finished goods.

(A) depending on England to be the source of finished goods
(B) depending, for its source of finished goods, on England
(C) dependent on England as the source of finished goods
(D) dependent, for its source of finished goods, on England
(E) dependent, and that England would be its source of finished goods

答案是C

請問一下A為什麼錯? depend 和 dependent有不一樣嗎?
是否是因為keep的用法錯誤?
另外還想請教答案(B)中的for市因為做連接詞才錯的嗎?
答案(C)中是什麼東西as the source?
謝謝!

啊~ (A) 這麼順的答案是錯的喔? 考試的時候我大概很快就選了這答案吧Orz



@剛剛仔細看keep的用法 (Collins COBUILD Dictionary)
沒看到keep + N +Ving的用法
只有
keep緊接Ving 或Keep+N+adj 的用法 ,不然就是Keep +N +from +Ving
難道是這個原因嗎?! 嗯,再討論


@depend 和 dependent; 我的理解吼, 放在這個context中
keep depending和 keep N dependent 一個表動作, 一個表狀態

記得看到有版大說過, OG 解釋存在著 "動作 和 狀態 "
我大概慢慢體會這種些微的涵義差距了

那麼(C)的意思就還蠻合乎邏輯的了


@ (C)讓England= the source of finished goods


@不了解finished goods什麼意思,順道wikipedia一下;果然是百科,解釋好清楚^^
如下:
A good purchased as a "raw material" goes into the manufacture of a product. A good only partially completed during the manufacturing process is called "work in process". When the good is completed as to manufacturing but not yet sold or distributed to the end-user is called a "finished good".

Finished goods is a relative term. In a Supply chain management flow, sometimes finished goods of a supplier is the raw material of buyer. The example is the supplier is a paper and the purchaser is a book publisher.


還請繼續討論^^

太感謝你了...解釋的真詳細....
我想keep的用法就如你所說的...應該沒有keep+o+to be這種用法
另外我想本題用dependent是因為該字意義為"隸屬於"
用depend做依賴解好像不太符合句意....
