Many environmentalists, and some economists, say that free trade encourages industry to relocate to countries with ineffective or poorly enforced antipollution laws, mostly in the developing world, and that, in order to maintain competitiveness, rich nations have joined this downward slide toward more lax attitudes about pollution.
that, in order to maintain competitiveness, rich nations have joined this downward slide toward more lax attitudes about pollution
that, for maintaining competitiveness, rich nations join in this downward slide toward more lax attitudes about pollution
that rich nations join this downward slide toward more lax attitudes about pollution because of wanting to maintain competitiveness
that in rich nations, joining this downward slide toward more lax attitudes about pollution is a result of wanting to maintain competition
that wanting to maintain competition is making rich nations join in this downward slide toward an attitude about pollution that is more lax
- the simple present tense join implies that there is some sort of timeless truth about the statement being made. that's the wrong meaning: the sentence is meant to say that the rich nations have begun to do this as a result of current trends.
以上是RON的解释 B出错在1.for doing表达目的不对(在这里他还说到A其实也有些wordy)2.“rich nations...."改变了语义 并不是nations 一起加入slide,而是slide出现后他们join it 3.时态 完成时表达这些公司在这种趋势出现时have begun to do so
