Duomi Posted October 20, 2014 at 10:14 PM Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 at 10:14 PM Why do sentences with 使用 also employ ”与“？ As in the following sentence: "尽管“占中”从启动那一刻开始，组织者就刻意避免明确使用与“港独”有关的政治符号，。。。” Couldn't "与“ just as easily be omitted without any loss in meaning? Wait!... I think the meaning is "使用与“港独”有关的政治符号" Ok, I see... I will go ahead and post this anyway, and any additional comments on the usage of 使用与 would be much appreciated. If my interpretation is somehow off, please go ahead and clue me in! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wushucrab20 Posted October 21, 2014 at 02:13 AM Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 at 02:13 AM Yes, I think you caught it. The 使用 is directed at 与__有关的___ . For example 与“港独”有关的政治符号. It could be simplified to 跟“香港”有关系的政治符号 and retain the same meaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that your simplification involves more characters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
