At least sorting out the things she should have discarded years ago was now being made easier

问题描述:

At least sorting out the things she should have discarded years ago was now being made easier
for her.这句话中的being是什么用发,他和前面的was不冲突吗?

不冲突啊,这是过去进行时的被动语态(be doing done)
这句话的意思是:这样一来,她倒是容易将那些几年前就该扔掉的东西找出来了.
