OG质询

（The rising of costs ）of data-processing operations at many financial institutions has created a growing opportunity for independent companies to provide these services more efficiently and at lower cost.

（a)The rising of costs
(c)The rising cost

OG中答案是c，但我和复旦MM都认为是a，因为是rising带来了机遇,而不是成本带来了机遇。大家认为呢？.

第一感觉就是the rising cost,读起来顺口。呵呵。。。

是增长的成本造成的，而不是成本的增长造成的！

The rising of costs of data-processing operations

有两个of , 大家不觉的有歧义吗?

I agree with princess. 既然有名词rise，就不应用动名词rising，而且，题目强调的是结果而不是过程。

我支持the rising of costs
rising 表示了一种状态，强调了成本的升高是机遇产生的原因。成本跟机遇有什么关系？只有成本的变化才能说跟机遇有关系。

funnysung

in my opinion
the rising cost is better than the rising of cost
two reasons
1. shorter and precise
2.the rising cost -- rising is an adj.

princess

即便照你说的，也应该是the rise of costs

我不同意！
因为，从逻辑上讲是正在逐步升高的成本，是这个状况导致了机遇的产生。
