=>
A cover story in BusinessWeek magazine claims that the economists mostly failed to predict the worst international economic crisis since the Great Depression of 1930s.

(1) the economists => economist
(2) the worse => the worst
(3) economical => economic    economical 是便宜的意思
(4) 1930's => 1930s 九十年代

有错吗？

问题
1. most economists和economists mostly有什么分别?
2. 后面有since, 为什么前面不用have?
3. 为什么用of 1930s而不是in the 1930s?

楼上提供的答案是原本的句子...

1. most economists和economists mostly有什么分别?
2. 后面有since, 为什么前面不用have?

分别是意思改变了......

有一种语法解说是......

(1) 如果动作还没完成：
[现在完成时态/present perfect] + for/since...
(The present perfect is used with for and since, when the actions have not finished yet)

(2) 如果动作已完成了：
[过去一般时态/simple past] + for/since...
(The simple past is used with for and since, when the actions have already finished)

economists mostly failed to predict the worst international economic crisis since the Great Depression of 1930s:
自从三十年代的大萧条之后...
有很多经济学家曾经尝试去预测某些最坏的经济危机，但他们的预测大都失败...
那些经济危机都是指过去的危机，不可能还在继续预测，预测应该是在危机之前，是过去的动作...

most economists have failed to predict the worst international economic crisis since the Great Depression in the 1930s.
自从三十年代的大萧条之后，大部分的经济学家都无法成功预测...... 一直预测到现在都还没成功...
到现在还无法成功预测过去的危机..... 这显然是不可能的事...

Google 到的一些句子供参考：
In 2002, China became the first country since the '80s to attract more foreign investment than the US.
The FHHS football squad became the first team since the '80s to beat Concrete...
（自从八十年代之后，就没有任何一个国家能超越美国....直到2002年，中国成功超越了她...
自从八十年代之后，就没有任何一个球队能打败 Concrete....直到FHHS 成功打败他们...)


3. 为什么用of 1930s而不是in the 1930s?
两个应该都没错

想问下为什么有些quotation marks会写在full stop的后面
好像你那句"metal fatigue."

潇湘夜雨 发表于 26-1-2010 10:29 AM

这方面的确有不同的争议和用法....
（标点符号也是我最讨厌的部分）

简单一点，跟随这个法则就好了：

把逗号(,)或句号(.)放在开引号或关引号之前：
Always place a comma(,) or period(.) before beginning or ending quotation marks.
,"xxx,"
."xxx."

"Sam," she requested, "Please help me carry the box."
"Hey!" he shouted. "Come back here!"

例外...
数字或字母：
..."9".  
..."X".

那个句子是美式的，美式的句号一概放在关引号前。

英式的符号标法有些不同，要根据逻辑：
（如果我没错的话）那一句应该是这样写： ..."metal fatigue".
但是，Sam said, "I am tired."

the plane had lost a wing?

正确：

... showed .... had lost ... : （过去）+ （过去的过去）

有可能

为什么是Sundays而不是
