大全717，and连接不同时态的问题

applebees

717. The company is negotiating to sell its profitable credit card

subsidiary, which it plans to use money from to acquire some of the

mortgage-servicing operations that are being sold by troubled

savings institutions.

(A) subsidiary, which it plans to use money from

(B) subsidiary, from which it plans to use money

(C) subsidiary, and it plans the use of money from that

(D) subsidiary and plans to use money from that sale（D）

(E) subsidiary and plans the use of money from that sale

我想问，D答案中，The company is negotiating to do.. and plans to

do..在这里，plans 用的是第三人称单数，显然它前面省略了the company,

但是用and来连接 is negotiating..and plans , 即现在进行时和一般现在

时，这种一种and连接不同时态的方式，能否请nn们讲讲

楼主，这个很常见的。都是现在时范围内的。

谢谢回复，不过还是感觉吃不透，如果能给几个例子就好了。

自己查了一下章振邦的语法，结合到这道题，is negotiating to do 用现在进行时强调暂时性的动作，negotiating; 而plans to do 用一般现在时来表示plan是一个经常性的动作。不知我这样的理解是否恰当？

B OG160. While some propose to combat widespread illegal copying of computer programs by attempting to change people’s attitudes toward pirating, others by suggesting reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others by calling for the prosecution of those who copy software illegally.
(A) by suggesting reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others by calling
(B) by suggesting the reduction of software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others call
(C) suggest the reduction of software prices for decreasing the incentive for pirating, and still others call
(D) suggest the reduction of software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others by calling (E)
(E) suggest reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others are calling

一般现在时与现在进行时的并列很常见. 甚至有时因为特别时间限制, 还有跨越时态之间的并列. 不要被一些条条框框桎梏.

小蜜蜂，说得好。用一般现在时或现在进行时跟作者想要表达的意图有很大关系，你的例子就很好的。
