主句谓语应为would not be so thriving. 网友漏掉了助动词be。这个句子为虚拟条件句。从as it is 和would not be so thriving 可知,主句说的是与现在事实相反的结果,所以从句所说的如果没有公众的及时投资是与过去事实相反的假设,而不是与现在或将来事实相反的假设。因此,本题的正确答案应该是:Had it not been for =...

who thought they had finished their careers at 60 or whatever 为定语从句修饰ex-employees. 即那些原本以为自己60岁退休后职业生涯就已经终结的前雇员们。由于thought为过去时,其宾语从句根据时态一致原则用过去完成时。这里指已经退休的人员。

三种形式并非表示相同的意思。各自在不同的语境中表示不同的意义。即使同一个形式在不同的语境意义也不尽相同。所以你这种提问是无法回答的。你应该给出具体一句话,连同上下文,这样才能正确判断使用哪种形式以及其含义。

1 seat是及物动词,意为使(宾语)坐下。自己坐下就要要用反身代词作宾语,如 He seated himself on the ground. 他坐到了地上。当坐下的动作发生后,主语就处于动作完成后的状态中,此时用过去分词作表语。He is seated on the ground. 他坐在地上。本句中为过去分词作定语。如果改用不及物动词sit,就要用现在分词sitting...
