(A) employing的逻辑主语是jobs,不符合逻辑,应该是industry;时间状语in the 1920’s的位置不正确,存在歧义,可能是jobs in the 1920’s,也可能是in the 1920’s employing…。
(B) with the American economy being dominated的表达方式不如直接用动词形式更简洁有效,而且被动语态的表达方式也不够清楚;原句的主谓语the automobile industry dominated…变成了修饰成分,改变了原句强调重心。
(C) 时间状语in the 1920’s的位置不正确,应该置于句首修饰整个句子;one of every eight workers与原句要表达的one out of every eight workers不同,前者是“八人中的一人”,而后者是“每八人中就有一人”;with… having been…的表达方式不清楚。
(D) in the 1920’s是过去的时间,应该用过去时态,而不是过去完成时态;由when引导时间状语从句,改变了原句所要表达的意思。
