一个改错题The newspaper reported that having the increase in the minimum wage, many people are still havng trouble making ends meet.% {# M; U. a+ ]# O4 Z; b
我感觉having项十分不妥,可是不知道错在哪里。答案说having the increase in the minimum wage会被认为修饰newspaper,令我不能理解。6 k( n9 J% `/ i
The error in this sentence occurs at (B), where improper phrasing is used. The% h8 u4 K8 {' P
participle “having” introduces a participial phrase that incorrectly modifies the+ _+ {: e$ k) o
subject of the sentence, “newspaper.” So that the phrase “the increase in the 6 x* b& W# v* E8 ?, sminimum wage” describes the intended noun, “people,” the phrase must be: p. ]5 O u/ @2 _8 l
introduced by a preposition, in this case, “with.”
原句中的the increase in the minimum wage应该是修饰people的,但是用having会让人理解为the increase是修饰newspaper的,因为having引导的分句放前,而having前省略了应该修饰的主语people,就会让人理解成the newspaper have a increase in the minimum wage,而people have trouble是这个事件的结果,所以应该改成一个介词,即with.; ^; y4 U4 R. T; p% N/ W4 _
