60. More and more in recent years, cities are stressing the arts as a means to greater economic development and investing millions of dollars in cultural activities, despite strained municipal budgets and fading federal support.
(A) to greater economic development and investing
(B) to greater development economically and investing
(C) of greater economic development and invest
(D) of greater development economically and invest
(E) for greater economic development and the investment of
选A吧？平行结构，对吗？
不过a means of sth.这种用法对吗？
A
as means of sth.这个用法我本来也搞错了，OG上说The idiom as a means to is properly used.后来我又去查了LONGMAN，as means of sth不正确，应该是by means of sth
此句怎么翻译呢?我一直都想问.
这个我也查了一下:
如果是 by means 或 no means 后面就接 of
如果是 a means 后面就要接 to 了
譬如说:
a means to an end
something that you do because it will help you to achieve something else
I didn't particularly like the job - it was just a means to an end.
The following is an example in Longman:
"Homework should not be used as a means of controlling children"
I am confused
比较赞成这个的想法,
不过,似乎和词性无关.下面的两例都是接名词的
原题中stressing the arts as a means to greater economic development,有目的之意,即采取means以达到greater economic development
LDOCE中的art as a means of expression,则是一种expression的意思
我觉得介词的使用在这里单纯是从句意出发了
我也很疑惑:
(A) is a process that leaves editors, instead of printers, assemble
(B) refers to a process that allows editors, rather than printers, to assemble
(C) is a process leaving the editors, rather than printers, to assemble
(D) refers to a process which allows editors, but not to printers, the assembly of
(E) has reference to the process leaving to editors, instead of the printer, assembling
Logical predication + Diction
The original sentence suffers from the imprecise use of words. The subject of this sentence is the technical term 'pagination." A term is not a process but rather a means of referring to a process, and thus the verb is should be replaced by refers to. While let and leave can be used interchangeably in some contexts, leave is not an acceptable substitute for let when let means to permit or allow.
看红字的地方,ETS实际上自己也在用 a means of 这种用法呀???
在韦氏字典上查到的：
3. When used with a preposition, means is most often followed by of:
... agreement about the best means of organizing the state —Aldous Huxley, Ends and Means, 1937
... having developed the means of survival in the Harlem ghetto —Current Biography, November 1967
... essential to find a means of conveying the lessons —Times Literary Supp., 19 Feb. 1971
Less frequently, means is used with to, toward or for:
... its unique place within the community is that it is an instrument of social purpose and a means to raise public taste —Sir William Haley, quoted in Thomas Owen Beachcroft, British Broadcasting, rev. ed., 1948
Many of our wants are means to a higher set of goals —Charles L. Schultze, Saturday Rev., 22 Jan. 1972
... they would have little incentive to query hospital costs, even if they had the means to do so —Robert Claiborne, Saturday Rev., 7 Jan. 1978
The two most important means toward reaching this goal —Current Biography 1951
因此，个人认为as a means of 只是在本题中是不适合的用法。
LS，下面是我自己总结的，你可以参考下，不对了请指正：
a means to + do/名词词组：表示means所要达到的效果或结果，但是这个还未达成。
a means of sth.:并没有明确的目的指向，比如：a means of expressions（摘自朗文）
问一下在这个题目中greater的意思及词性
greater是指包括市区及郊区的的意思么？
那这样的话as a means to greater economic development个人感觉to后边少了个动词~~
希望高手解答
我认为means在这里做财富，收入。
因为不能说“艺术”是“手段，方法”，逻辑上是错的，所以不能用as a means of
解释为：尽管紧缩的市政预算和萎缩的联邦支持，但城市还是强调艺术是更好经济发展的收入，所以投资百万美元在文化活动上
[plural]
art, music, theatre, film, literature etc all considered together
Government funding for the arts has been reduced.看了og12解释，"as a means to " correctly communicates that stressing the arts is a method for achieving greater economic development."as a means of"would incorrectly suggest that stressing the arts is a kind of greater economic development
不知有没有高人解释一下
as a means to sth. to表示目的 stressing the arts is a method for achieving greater economic development
as a means of sth. of表示属性 stressing the arts is a kind of greater economic developmentIxia
