Wholesale prices in July rose more sharply than expected and at a faster rate than consumer prices,(此空应该填indicating还是indicated)that businesses were still protecting consumers from the full brunt of higher energy costs.上面的空应该填indicate的哪种形式?为什么?同时麻烦解释一下什么时候填现在分词形式,什么时候该用过去式形式,这俩我根本分不清楚啊! 英语

【答案】 应该填indicating,这里逗号后面的句子是一个定语从句,先行词就是前面的一整句话,现在分词作定语的时候,动词与前面的先行词之间是主动的关系,即先行词是动作的发出者;而过去分词作定语时,动词与前面的先行词之间是被动的关系,即先行词是动作的承受者.
例如:The teacher,holding a book in her hand,came in.(hold a book是老师发出的动作,主动,用现在分词作定语)
The teacher,followed by some students,came in.(老师是被“跟随”,被动,用过去分词作定语)
