However, this progress was short-lived.【翻译】随着象牙贸易被禁止,对于象牙的需求在下降了,大象的数量也开始缓慢上升,然而,这种进步是短时间存在的。【分析】本句含有with复合结构的用法:with的复合结构相当于一个状语从句,其基本结构为:with+宾语+宾语补足语;宾语补足语可以是名词,代词,形容词,副词,现在分词,或者过去分词,也可以是不定式。对宾语的情况进行补充说明。当做宾语补足语的动词与宾语构成被动关系的
65、时候,使用过去分词的形式;当二者构成主动关系的时候,使用现在分词的形式。要特别要注意With的复合结构经常与独立主格结构转换使用。本句的trade与choke off构成被动关系,故使用过去分词。DStudies show farmland in Africa is often lacking in important nutrients.
