1道英语语法题
____the current retirement allowance system with a company pension system would reduce the incentive of firms to retire older workers,while increasing private savings for retirement.
A.Replace B.Replacement C.By replacing D.Replacing
正确答案选D,可C为什么错了呢?By replacing不能解释为“通过取代……”吗?
本句的结构如下:

主语:Replacing the current retirementallowance system with a company pension system ——以企业养老金制度取代当前的退休金制度(这件事)
谓语动词:would reduce ——会减弱
宾语:the incentive of firms to retireolder workers,——公司安排老工人退休的激励
伴随状语:while increasing privatesavings for retirement.

  可见,句中的主语是由动名词短语充当的.英语的动名词短语相当于汉语的名词性动宾结构(如“学习英语”很有用,“安排就业”迫在眉梢)或述补结构(“跑得快”才能做得好,“说清楚”是尤为重要的)的语法功能.
  如果用 Byreplacing …,就变成了介词短语,而介词短语是不能用来做主语的.
