Prep-T2-Q112之淺淺一問

[auguding]

In hoping to restrain economic growth, interest rates were raised by British policymakers, making it more expensive to borrow for businesses and consumers.

(A) In hoping to restrain economic growth, interest rates were raised by British policymakers, making it more expensive to borrow for businesses and consumers.
(B) Making it more expensive for businesses and consumers to borrow, interest rates were raised by British policymakers, in hopes of their restraining economic growth.
(C) In making borrowing for businesses and consumers more expensive, British policymakers, in hopes they will restrain economic growth, had raised interest rates.
(D) Hopefully restraining economic growth, British policymakers raised interest rates, making more expensive borrowing by businesses and consumers.
(E) Hoping to restrain economic growth, British policymakers raised interest rates, making it more expensive for businesses and consumers to borrow.

想請教一下在E選項中的it~視為虛詞~
而原劇應該如何改咧?
是否為:making businesses and consumers to borrow more expensive?然後由輕到重--->改為E之寫法~那麼for也是後來加上去的囉?!

感激大人的回答唷

[dibert8]

(E) 裡的 it = to borrow

[auguding]

是的~D大人
那敢問為何本文中要如此改寫?
我怎麼研究不出由輕到重的感覺....
感覺若是making to borrow more expensive for businesses and consumers不是比較優?

再次感激~

[dibert8]

我想是因為不定詞不常在有補語的動詞結構裡 (V+O+OC; e.g. make Sth affordable) 直接當受詞 (i.e. 如果 Sth 是單字片語就可以接受, e.g. make the price affordable)
不定詞並不是主要動詞,這個分詞片語第一個字就是主要動詞 making, 所以不會有輕到重的問題.

請問

我要怎麼判斷it是虛主詞?
像這題我就誤以為指代growth,導致句意不順~~

[whoisallan]

make+O+O.C
如果O太長, 可以移到後面,前面補it
但只限定O是 to V, Ving and that s+v
這題的for businesses and consumers to borrow, 整個移到後面, 不移我是覺得也可以
只能說美國人習慣這樣用,我有在雜誌上看過類似的句子
這裡的輕重指的是 O跟OC的輕重...

Senses
Most dolphins have acute eyesight, both in and out of the water, and their sense of hearing is superior to that of humans. Though they have a small ear opening on each side of their head, it is believed that hearing underwater is also if not exclusively done with the lower jaw which conducts the sound vibrations to the middle ear via a fat-filled cavity in the lower jaw bone. Hearing is also used for echolocation, which seems to be an ability all dolphins have. It is believed that their teeth are arranged in a way that works as an array or antenna to receive the incoming sound and make it easier for them to pinpoint the exact location of an object.[11] The dolphin's sense of touch is also well-developed, with free nerve endings being densely packed in the skin, especially around the snout, pectoral fins and genital area. However, dolphins lack an olfactory nerve and lobes and thus are believed to have no sense of smell,[12] but they can taste and do show preferences for certain kinds of fish. Since dolphins spend most of their time below the surface normally, just tasting the water could act in a manner analogous to a sense of smell.
