问题补充:
, the amount left in the bank is hardly worth mentioning.
A. Having paid my taxes
B. Paying my taxes
C. My taxes having been paid
D. My taxes had been paid
答案:
A. Having paid my taxes
B. Paying my taxes
(答案→)C. My taxes having been paid
D. My taxes had been paid
解析:现在分词独立主格结构:分词的逻辑主语与句中的主语不一致,即分词拥有自己的逻辑主语,所构成的结构称为独立主格结构。该句中the amount 不能执行分词paying的动作,故排除AB,如用D项,在the amount前面应用连词so构成并列符合句。
