The Baldrick Manufacturing Company has for several years followed a policy aimed at decreasing operating costs and improving the efficiency of its distribution system.
aimed at decreasing operating costs and improving
aimed at the decreasing of operating costs and to improve
aiming at the decreasing of operating costs and improving
the aim of which is the decreasing of operating costs and improving
with the aim to decrease operating costs and to improve
②aim的idiomatic用法:
we adopted new procedures aimed at...
we adopted new procedures with the aim of...
通常觉得aim+...to do会有点啰嗦
③E. /With the aim to/ is not the correct idiom; the correct idiom is
with the aim of followed by an ing verb form such as
decreasing.
E 伴随,语义不对
aimed at doing sth v.s. with the aim to do sth
despite it may be better to use with the aim of doing sth,
the main sentence says the company has followed a policy, it doesn't make sense to say with sth, 'with' means along with or with a tool, neither fits the purpose of the construction here
另外的问题在于,aimed at decreasing 做policy的后置定语,policy 是aimed动作的发出者吗?这样logical吗?
