[文法] 請問一下為何要這樣寫?

[soroiverson (梭羅)]

剛剛逛網站看到，

document-sharing software，

這應該算是複合分詞形容詞吧?

但為何要用 N + Ving 的主動型式?

軟體不是被分享嗎?


原文:A security flaw in the popular document-sharing software, Adobe Reader,
     could be exploited to seize control of a computer system, according to
     the software's maker.


麻煩各位大大幫忙小妹解惑了~
感激不盡^^
