make matters worse / make things worse 是英语的固定搭配,好像它们总是以不定式的形式出现,用作独立成分,意思是“更糟的是”。如:
To make matters worse, he refused to apologize. 更糟的是他拒不道歉。
To make matters worse, my friend then lost her keys. 更为糟糕的是,我的朋友又弄丢了她的钥匙。
Only 300 people came to the match and to make things worse, the floodlights went out during the second half. 只有区区 300 人来看比赛,更糟糕的是,下半场连泛光灯都不亮了。
我的问题是:它们可以以其他形式出现吗?比如现在分词或动名词,比如用作句子谓语……谢谢各位!
