Voters have elected a divided government in Washington, with Democrats controlling the House and the presidency and Republicans favourites to keep the Senate.
为什么and前面用controlling,后面用to keep?前面表现在进行,后面表将来?怎么感觉不是这样啊
with复合结构作伴随或原因状语。with后接and并列的二个复合宾语(宾语+宾补)。第一个复合宾语中用现在分词作宾补,因为control这个动作在说话时已经在发生着。注意第二个宾语是 favourites (有望获胜者),即实际还没有确定获胜,所以keep the Senate这个动作在说话时还不确定,要等到宣布结果后才能确定,即to keep是说话时之后的将来动作,所以第二个宾补用不定式。Republicans 似应为 Republican,形容词作favourites的定语。
再给你一个类似的例句:
All the members have said they will attend the meeting, with some being here already and the rest to arrive tomorrow.
现在分词作宾补,分词的动作与谓语时间是同时的。不定式作宾补,不定式的动作是后于谓语时间的。
