2420 blog 變形形容詞子句

The European Union announced last week that it was preparing to charge tariffs, which are import taxes, on all electric cars arriving from China.

中文翻譯：歐盟上週宣布，準備對所有來自中國的電動汽車徵收關稅

可以用形容詞子句改寫如下：

"The European Union announced last week that it was preparing to charge tariffs, which are import taxes, on all electric cars that arrived from China."

英文直譯：歐盟上週宣布，準備徵收關稅, 就是進口稅, 目標是電動車, 而這些電動車來自中國.

On all electric cars arriving from China → on all electric cars that arrived from China.

科技始終來自人性, 進步始終來自惰性.  用現在分詞方式, 簡潔的取代子句表達.  但這中文翻譯都一樣, 能流暢的用分詞方式取代子句的學習者並不多, 這幾乎是英文母語者水平了.
