题目

compare these 2 sentence please
1.Though ___ sufficient time,the officer managed to read all the papers before midnight.
We filled blank with 'being lack of'
2.Though ___ money,the family managed to support the boy's high education abroad.
We filled blank with "lacking of"
WHY?

答案

being lack of 强调一种状态,lacking of 更侧重强调动作
第一句话是强调当时那种状态下.第二句虽然也有状态的含义,但是并不是限定某个很短的时间段内缺钱.其实不细究的话,二者有没什么区别.
