復(fù)雜的非謂語動(dòng)詞的理解 例282

例282　Not long ago, with the country entering a recession and Japan at its pre-bubble peak, the U.S. workforce was derided as poorly educated and one of primary cause of the poor U.S. economic performance.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】句子開頭是個(gè)時(shí)間狀語Not long ago，后面是with伴隨狀語，也就是with the country entering a recession and Japan at its pre-bubble peak，該with短語里面有兩個(gè)并列成分，一個(gè)是the country entering a recessing，一個(gè)是Japan at its pre-bubble peak，這個(gè)并列成分里面省略了動(dòng)詞entering，句子的主干是并列句，第一個(gè)并列句是the U.S. workforce was derided as poorly educated，第二個(gè)并列句是個(gè)省略句，省略了it is，所以還原之后就是it is one of primary cause of the poor U.S. economic performance，如果不還原，句子不完整，只有一個(gè)名詞短語，沒有動(dòng)詞。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于省略句的成功使用，with里面省略了動(dòng)詞，而后面的主干省略了主語和動(dòng)詞，with這個(gè)分詞狀語使用很成功。
