The rate of heat production depends also in the power being used in the heating element, this power being measured in watts.
第一个being是做定语,第二个being是独立分词结构。
这两个being都可以省略吗?省略后意思是不是也会随之变化,没有了同时的意思。
The rate of heat production depends also on the power being used in the heating element, this power being measured in watts.
我认为,这两个 being 都不可省略。
从句意看:
“产生热量的速度”(The rate of heat production )是一种“动态数据”。功率的被使用和被测量,也是动态的,自然是 “正在被使用” 和 “正在被测量”。
从结构看:作定语的 being done, 一定表达 “进行 + 被动”。
being used = that is being used 或 that was being used
used = that is used 或 that was used
being measured 同理。
比较:
The meeting being held now is of great importance. 现在正在召开的会议很重要。
The meeting held yesterday is of great importance. 昨天召开的会议很重要。
The meeting to be held tomorrow is of great importance. 明天要召开的会议很重要。
