问题: 英语

with more forests (being destoryed),huge quantities of good earth (being washed away)each year.
问:
这句话的意思还有时态的运用?

解答:

With more forests being destoryed, huge quantities of good earth are washed away each year.

由于更多森林被破坏,每年有大量的好土壤流失掉了。
With : 可以翻译为由于
With是个介词,基本的意思是“用”,但它也可以协助构成一个极为多采多姿的句型,在句子中起两种作用;副词与形容词。
其中一个结构就是:1.“with+宾语+现在分词或短语”,如:
(1) This article deals with common social ills, with particular attention being paid to vandalism.

huge quantities of good earth are washed away each year.
是主句,因为时间状语是each year,所以用现在时态被动语气。

正常语序如下:
Huge quantities of good earth are washed away each year with more forests being destoryed.
