当需要表达一个事物附属品的状态,除了用A+ of A和A's A+的结构,还可以借助动词see来表达,A see its A+ do....,将事物当成一个能看见自己所拥有的东西处于的一种状态,当和完成时态结合时,表达一段时期一直所处的状态。经济学人文章经常用到这样的表达。
如经济学人文章最近文章中有这样的句子:
Boeing’s chairman, David Calhoun, has been appointed chief executive and president to “restore confidence” in the company, which has seen its share price tumble since the crashes.
值得注意的是,这样的结构多用于增长或下降的状态中。当然你也可以写成A of B或's的结构表示从属或所属:
Boeing's share price has tumbled since the crashes.或
The share price of Boeing has tumbled since the crashes.
但当行文时反复出现这两个表达,会产生枯燥,乏味,单调无聊之感。
