WestWorld 1,213 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 So this paragraph: As founder of the internet payment system PayPal, electric carmaker Tesla and rocket builder SpaceX, Musk has earned the right to be taken seriously. However, Branson’s financial involvement has failed to quieten the critics who argue none of the players in the hyperloop field has taken proper account of the size of the enormous hurdles facing anyone seeking to make the technology a reality. none of the players in the field has taken proper account of the size of the enormous hurdles=I just thought it as no one consider the big problems properly and anyone seeking to make the technology a reality= people who trying to make the technology a reality but how can I connect the two sentences by using facing? how should I translate it?! facing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiraishin 1,276 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Translate what to what? Those who seek to make the technology a reality would definitely meet (have to face) enormous problems (hurdles) on their way to do so. The problems that none of the players in the hyperloop field has taken proper account of, according to the critics of Branson's financial involvement.

wild 856 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 You shouldn't start sentences with "however" and I would remove either one of the "ofs" in the second sentence because it sounds repetitive and impedes the overall flow of the sentence.

glow 2,321 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'm not sure if this answers your question but I'd change it to: As founder of the internet payment system PayPal, electric carmaker Tesla, and rocket builder SpaceX, Musk has earned the right to be taken seriously. However, Branson’s financial endeavours have failed to do the same for him. His critics argue none of the players in his hyperloop field have taken proper account of the enormous hurdles facing anyone seeking to make the technology a reality.
