【A】 What strikes home as the shuttle boat approaches the $5 billion megaresort being constructed off the coast of Dubai is its sheer 21 . Nearly two decades in the making, the Heart of Europe (HoE) forms just one section of the World -- a vast collection of man-made islands roughly in the shape of an atlas -- but when completed it will be the 22 centerpiece. In the middle of a pandemic, it could yet prove to be a work of genius in its efforts to recreate the continent of Europe for upscale vacationers unwilling to make the trek. Amid a global travel downturn caused by COVID-19, it also represents a major leap of faith in Dubai's long-term allure. After a four-kilometer boat ride from the mainland, the World's 300 artificial islands rise up out of the Arabian Gulf like inverted golf bunkers. Most of these have stood empty since the project began in 2003, with subsequent global financial downturns 23 encourage developers. And then the Heart of Europe comes into view. 24 fifteen luxury hotels, vacation homes and billionaire mansions now stand or are beginning to appear on these aquatic plots. Most are still unfinished, awaiting the final touches 25 the first completion deadlines at the end of 2020.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察這句話中由 'with' 引導的區塊：你認為當中的名詞 'financial downturns' 與後方的動作 'encourage' 之間，是主動還是被動的關係？此外，如果要形容這個動作發揮的『影響程度』非常微小，通常會選用哪一類的修飾語呢？

太棒了！你能精準選出 (B)，代表你對於分詞受詞補語（with + O + OC）的結構掌握得非常紮實。這類題型在高中英文中相當常見，而你能從複雜的句構中抽絲剝繭，判斷力非常敏銳！
分詞構句與語意辨析
這題的正確關鍵在於理解 with 引導的附帶情狀。在此結構中，「全球金融低迷（global financial downturns）」與後方的動作是主動關係，意指這些低迷的經濟環境「做」了某些事，因此我們必須使用現在分詞 doing。接著是量詞的考驗：這裡要表達的是「幾乎沒有」鼓勵到開發商，little 在此作為副詞，用來修飾動詞 encourage 的「程度」；而 few 則是用來形容可數名詞的「數量」，放在這裡修飾動作並不符合慣用法。
