问题描述：
they have been expecting a splendid crop this year and harvesting has begun than usual
这里为什么用harvesting?为什么不是harvest呢?
答
have been要接doing
答
1.因为has begun是动词,前面主语要用名词,当harvest作名词时表示【收获,产量】的意思,但事实上作者要表达的是【收割】,因此要加上ing.
2.我觉得句子有点错误,最后两个单词应该是as usual或者是earlier than usual.
3.句子翻译为：他们一直期待今年是个丰收年,而收割工作也比往常开展得早.
