Retail sales rose 0.8 of 1 percent in August, intensifying expectations that personal spending in the July-September quarter would more than double the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending for the previous quarter.
请问:
1. intensifying 开始是什么句型?
2. that后的从句为什么不用would be more than?之用would more than 不是没有谓语动词,不构成完整句子吗?
3.0.8 of 1 percent是指多少?
这里intensifying....是由现在分词引导的状语从句,这里是作伴随状语。强调retail sales rise和intensify两个动作同时发生。
其中double是动词,more than是副词,would double the 1.4 percent growth rate....
0.8%
