这里须用facing

有读者问一道选择题:

(1)There are a lot of problems_________us at the moment.

A. faced B. facing C. to face D. to be faced

为什么应选B? 它和C有何区别?

这里的facing是现在分词,其意为“面对着”,这种用法常可见到,再如:

(2)I live in a house facing the river.

(3)In learning English pronunciation is one of worst difficulties facing us.

这里不可用to face(表未来),因为有时间状语at the moment。
