ron说,C项,reported暗示是别人report,而非这家公司自己,这是不符合句子意思的,就像说“I have a handmade item.”,暗示这个东西是别人做的,但是实际上是我自己手工做的话,应该说“I made the item by hand.”
blame A for B, 认为A是造成B的元凶,如:
She doesn't blame anyone for her father's death. 她没把她父亲的死归罪于任何人。
blame A on B,把A归咎于B,如:
Police are blaming the accident on dangerous driving. 警方把事故原因归咎于危险驾驶。
contribute A to B,A是B发生的原因。
choice b, expected a reported loss…期待的宾语都是尚未发生的事情,e.g.: expect to report a loss 期待报道一个损失。但是这里reported做定语修饰loss,这项损失已经报道过了,不存在expect这一说
B, the company announced that there would be a cut--10 percent of its workforce, which was more than 2,000 jobs--and expected a reported loss
there be a cut表示有一个削减,没有指出是该公司会做这个削减(比如可以理解成市场上会有一个10%的削减)
破折号不用紧跟句子,可以不紧跟被修饰部分
expected to do (sounds perfect)
expected to be mom
expected to cause flooding.
expected to kill millitants.
expected to report a loss
expected to report a profit.
All above statements are correct.
