Question

一道非谓语动词题,
Shortly after suffering from a massive earthquake and ( ) to ruins ,the city took on a new look.
选 reduced 还是 being reduced
因为after可以做介词,也可以是连词,如果做连词的话,就不用是动名词了啊

Answer 1

英语老师来替你解答
应该是being reduced
这是13年的高考题,be reduced to sth 是一个固定词组,陷入某种状态中
after 在这个句子中是介词,介词+doing（主动）/being done(被动）
这个句子还可以这样表达：
Shortly after the city suffered from... and was reduced to..., the city...
after 在这个句子中就是连词,引导时间状语从句.
