ＯＧ２５２

Three out of every four automobile owners in the united states also own a bicycle.

答案就是Ａ，我的问题是ｂｉｃｙｃｌｅ为什么是单数，难道他们共用一辆？谢谢！

是各自有一辆自行车；three out of every four owners + own(复数谓语) + 单数名词，在表达各自有XX时，这就是是一种习惯表达。

这句话的意思是：四个人中3个人有自行车，那么平均三个人拥有一辆自行车怎么表达呢？

看我啊，现在知道了，看来提问真的有利于自己思考问题，刚才想起来一个题目可以对比og89题的说法：

A recent national study of the public schools shows that there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many as there were four years ago.

There is one bicycle for 3 automobile owners in the united states.

这题我觉得很困惑. 因为我之前做61题的时候, 对OG的一条解释印象很深刻:

61题更正后的句子是

The Gorton-Dodd bill requires that a bank disclose to its customers how long it will delay access to funds from deposited checks

有个错误选项B: a bank to disclose to their customers how long they will delay access to funds from a deposited check

OG解释说: B illogically shifts from the plural customers and funds to the singular check, as if the customers were jointly depositing only one check.

基于对这条解释的理解, 我在做252题的时候首先就排除A了, 因为按照上面的解释, A的意思正表示三个人共同拥有一辆车啊…

收到...先记下来, 谢谢tai6996...

可是除了"每几个人几个"这种情况, 还有其它是前后不一致的吗? 还是只有这个特例?
