Though______occupied with housework all day long,Mrs.Green managed to spare some time to teach herself Chinese
为何只能用occupied 不能用being occupied 麻烦高手们给我讲解下being……在非谓语动词中的用法及意义
答：过去分词和现在分词的一般被动式作状语时的区别：
being occupied 强调被动动作与主句的谓语动词所表示的动作同时进行.过去分词只表示被动,并不强调时间.换句话说,如果用状语从句则前者=Though she was being occupied with...
后者=Though she is occupied with...
根据从句中的时间状语all day long,知道这种情况不是一次性的,而是经常发生的事情.所以用过去分词较好.
译：尽管整天忙于家务,格林夫人还是想方设法挤出时间自学汉语.
