the economic problems confronting the country
划线部分为现在分词短语,作 problems 的定语。problems 是其逻辑主语。
正误判断:
the economic problems that the country confronting (错误)
the economic problems that confront the country (正确)
这里,confront 的用法是:
something confronts somebody:某事使某人无法回避;某事使某人必须面对
如果变成句子就是:The economic problems confront the country.
