CNN: 《Proposed Stimulus Package Advances in Congress》
This proposal is likely to see some changes before the Senate votes on it. As it stand now though it would include direct payments of $1400 to many Americans, extra assistance for people who've lost their jobs money for state and local governments and schools, funding to distribute vaccines and more COVID tests.
这里的As it stand now though - though是什么词性,如何理解用法含义?另外,fund 是及物动词,那么这里的funding 为什么没有宾语呢?或者说这里的funding是名词吗?
