At least sorting out the things she should have discarded years ago was now being made easier

题目

At least sorting out the things she should have discarded years ago was now being made easier
for her.这句话中的being是什么用发,他和前面的was不冲突吗?

答案

不冲突啊,这是过去进行时的被动语态（be doing done）
这句话的意思是：这样一来,她倒是容易将那些几年前就该扔掉的东西找出来了.
