OG 106 (10th)

[candrow]

The decision by one of the nation’s largest banks to admit to $3 billion in potential losses on foreign loans could mean less lending by commercial banks to developing countries and increasing the pressure on multigovernment lenders to supply the funds.

(A) increasing the pressure
(B) the increasing pressure
(C) increased pressure
(D) the pressure increased
(E) the pressure increasing

答案是C
我選B

想問的是
這題的翻譯
以及, 到底increase用ing和ed
各具有什麼樣的對錯意義...

ETS的解釋是:
In choice B, the definite article the needlessly suggests that some previously mentioned type of pressure is being referred to, and increasing implies without warrant that the increase has been continuing for some indefinite period of time, not that it occurs as a consequence of the bank’s decision.

可是因為我看不懂題目
所以解釋了還是不清楚
拜託知道的人指點喔

(E) the pressure increasing

想問的是
這題的翻譯
以及, 到底increase用ing和ed
各具有什麼樣的對錯意義...←以ing結尾的形容詞一般具有主動意義，以ed結尾的形容詞一般具有被動意義，你想壓力它本身可以去增加嗎？它應該是被增加..

簡譯：這(承認3百萬潛在損失的)決定，代表商業銀行較少的借錢給開發中國家和增加的壓力於多重政府借出來供給資金→應該是某間銀行承認有筆國外借款可能收不回來，所以其他商業銀行看到了也怕怕，就不太想借錢給開發中國家，商業銀行不想借錢給開發中國家，就變成多國間合作政府借出者要借錢給那些國家了。
