求语法Time is one of the two elements that Americans save carefully,the other being labor.

问题描述:

求语法Time is one of the two elements that Americans save carefully,the other being labor.
这句话the other 后面为什么是being呢?谁来帮我详细分析一下这句话的语法呀?忘交几个英语好的大学生朋友

Time is one of the two elements that Americans save carefully,the other being labor
这句话=Time is one of the two elements that Americans save carefully, while the other is labor.
"while the other is labor" 在这里是比较状语从句.当把连接词去掉的时候,the other 和 time是两个不同的主语, 所以要用独立主格表示.
这里是独立主格:名词 / 代词 + -ing分词 的用法.如:
The bus coming here soon,(=Since the bus is coming soon) we should get everything ready. 汽车很快就要来了,我们应该把一切事情准备好.
