One video retailer sold the hit movie Titanic for $9.99, undercutting the $19.99 suggested retail price and losing about $6 on each copy sold.
该句意思是什么,其中undercutting…lossing…是什么状语从句?能不能举类似的句子,谢谢!
One video retailer sold the hit movie Titanic for $9.99, undercutting the $19.99 suggested retail price and losing about $6 on each copy sold.
译文:一个录像带零售商将大片泰坦尼克号以9.99美元的价格售出,低于19.99美元的建议零售价。这样,每卖出一盒录像带他就亏损6美元。
估计网友学习英语遵循的是传统语法体系。在传统语法体系中,状语从句必须由连词引导,并且从句中有限定动词作谓语。而本句是现在分词作状语,故不是状语从句。现在分词作状语可以是原因、时间、方式、条件、结果、伴随等状语。具体在某个句子中是什么状语,需要根据语境做出逻辑判断。这这个句子中undercutting和losing均为现在分词短语作状语。前者为方式状语(将批发商建议的零售价格降低,通过这种方式促销或收回现金),后者为结果状语(降价销售的结果)。
每盒录像带的进价为15.99美元,按照建议零售价卖出,每盒可赚4美元。以9.99美元卖出,每卖一盒亏损6美元。因此句子中的数字没有错误。
undercutting the $19.99 suggested retail price这个分词短语中suggested retail price为$19.99的限制性同位语,等于undercutting the suggested retail price of $19.99.
hit movie: 大片,巨片。
现在分词作方式状语和结果状语的例句:
She cooked a delicious dish, using only beancurd and tomatoes. 方式状语。
He fell down, breaking his leg. 他摔了一跤,把腿摔断了。

参考译文:一个影片销售商以9.99美元的价格出售火爆电影泰坦尼克号,该片建议零售价19.99美元,每张亏损大约6美元。(以上为第1个现在分词作条件状语,第2个现在分词作结果状语)。
备注:句子主语one video retailer 是现在分词undercutting/losing逻辑主语
现在分词作状语,其逻辑主语一般是句中的主语,如果不是,需在V-ing 形式前加名词或代词主格作逻辑主语。
(1)作原因状语,相当于原因状语从句。
Being ill, Mary didn't come to school yesterday.
(2)作时间状语,相当于时间状语从句。
Seeing their teacher coming, the students stopped talking.
备注:如果现在分词表示的动作与谓语表示的动作同时发生,常在现在分词前加上when或while。
While waiting for the plane, I had a long talk with Simon.
(3)作条件状语,相当于一个条件状语从句。
Working harder, you'll be No. 1 in your class.
(4)作让步状语,相当于让步状语从句。
Weighing almost two hundred jin, the stone was moved by him alone.
(5)作结果状语。
He died, leaving nothing but debts.
(6)作伴随状语或方式状语。
He sat by the roadside, begging.
备注(1):现在分词的完成式表示它发生在主句谓语动词表示的动作之前。
Having finished his homework, he left the classroom.
备注(2):现在分词的被动式
当句子的主语是动作的承受者时,用V-ing 形式的被动式。

备注(3):现在分词的否定形式是由“not + 现在分词”构成。
Not having been invited to the party, she had to stay home.
