The goal is to get to the botten of the problems facing the ward's patients, who, were it not for the new system, would be an actual,....
红色部分解释为----病房的病人面临的问题,face为何是ing形式?
谢谢!
face作为及物动词,不但可以表示某人面对问题、困难或困境,也可以表示问题等需要引起人的注意。所以,英语可以有 sb faces sth. 也可以有 sth faces sb.
例如:
face: to be a problem for (someone) : to require the attention of (someone)
There were many important questions facing them.
We can't ignore the problems that face us.
你的句子中face就是这种用法。现在分词facing...作定语,修饰problems,facing的逻辑主语就是problems。
