此处的being翻译成 存在 吗?
There is a kind of false precision being hawked by people.
划线部分,是现在分词的被动式作定语修饰 precision。
There is a kind of false precision being hawked by people.

【意译】人们兜售的测试有一定的不准确性。
to be done, being done, done, having been done 作定语的区别
以上四种形式都可表示被动,同时都可作定语,但它们在作定语时,是有明显区别的。to be done 表示“即将被做”,being done 表示“正在被做”,done 表示“完成 + 被动”,having been done 一般是非限制性定语,因为过去分词 done 已经表示“完成的概念”。
