标题: prep 第106题一大疑惑,关于比较,关于重量是用less还是lighter

106.
(30167-!-item-!-188;#058&004112)

Officials at the United States Mint believe that the Sacagawea dollar coin will be used more as a substitute for four quarters rather than for the dollar bill because its weight, only 8.1 grams, is far less than four quarters, which weigh 5.67 grams each.

(A) more as a substitute for four quarters rather than for the dollar bill because its weight, only 8.1 grams, is far less than

(B) more as a substitute for four quarters than the dollar bill because it weighs only 8.1 grams, far lighter than

(C) as a substitute for four quarters more than for the dollar bill because it weighs only 8.1 grams, far less than

(D) as a substitute for four quarters more than the dollar bill because its weight of only 8.1 grams is far lighter than it is for

(E) as a substitute more for four quarters rather than for the dollar bill because its weight, only 8.1 grams, is far less than it is for

答案是C,但C里很明显是拿红色的it,即the dollar bill 和 four quarters进行比较,应该用lighter而不是用less,

如果是将its weight和 four quarters' weight进行比较,则可以用less而不是lighter.

这里的每个答案都有问题,但正确答案中用了less,如果用less,则应该是拿8.1grams来比较了,则than后应该是weight of four quarters.

难道说这里省略了(four quarters) weigh?

it weighs +重量

或

it weighs(动词） far less than ...

it s weight （名词）is far lighter than....

楼上的请注意than后跟的是n.即four quarters

说明than前也应该是n.那就应该是名词形式的it即the dollar bill 如果这样则应该用lighter了

这题考的是parallelism， than前后应该对称，而且没有more ... rather than这种结构，所以选C

C中，我觉得it指代的内容是Sacagawea dollar coin，因为Sacagawea dollar coin是句子的主语，而且the dollar bill也不可能有8.1grams重啊～我认为"far less than the quaters"在这里可以理解为"weights"的状语，为状语后置现象，移到前面就是"it weights, far less than the quaters, which weigh 5.67 grams each, only 8.1 grams."后置是因为状语太长而宾语太短，避免句子重心不平衡。

没有必要这么复杂，weight (多少）的比较用less or more(如：PRICE 用 high or low不用EXPENSIVE OR CHEAP),同理：这里比较的是重量的值，因此用LESS OR MORE没有问题啊。。。 C 正确

Here, it doesn't stand for "dollar bill" but "the Sacagawea dollar coin".

六楼正解嘛。。。

A说这些员工在什么时候比较有生产力，没说过，杀。B说员工是否愿意按这个时间表工作，明显带有主观意愿，逻辑原文为了保证逻辑严密，一般没有任何感情，当选项中带有主观意愿的时候此选项一般不是正确答案，杀。C说一天工作十个小时让这些人不收干扰，至少谈了一些原文提过的信息，沾边，留着。D说这些地方的员工根据什么标准给补偿，没说过，杀。E说这些周五歇班的人没有把工作带到家里去，没说，杀。

Ron说的

A weight is a number. Weights don't weigh anything!
• A weight can be greater or less than another weight.
• An object/person/animal can be heavier or lighter than another object/person/animal.

楼上是错的， far less than在这里不能做状语，楼上的意思是想说 He came home, exhausted. 这种形容词做状语的形式吗？这个句子在GMAT里面就是错的。这里far less than是个介词性质的词组，无论是prep.词组还是v.ed放结尾都不能做状语的。

我去搜了Ron的回答：
what is the function of "far less than four quarters".Is it a Nominative Absolute Construction(less acts as a n ) or it is simply a modifier(less acts as a adj)[/quote]
I have seen that term, but don't know enough about it to respond authoritatively. The "nominative" term brings to mind Latin noun declension, where nominative = subject noun.

I think something like "Less than 10% of the nation's population lives in cities," might be an example of the less-acts-as-a-noun thing you mention.

这里只有两种可能，要么做独立主格，要么做定语。没有做状语这一说。

我觉得您这学习态度有问题啊，您自己都没有搞清楚就来否定别人。
这里显然不是独立主格，也不是定语啊。
because it weighs only 8.1 grams, far less than four quarters,
"far less than four quarters"在这里是adverbial modifier修饰前面的句子“because it weighs only 8.1 grams”，更准确的说是修饰“weighs”。“less”在这里是副词不是形容词修饰“weighs”的。
把句子写完整一点是这个样子的：
because it weighs only 8.1 grams, far less than four quarters do,
多说一句，因为句子不存在歧义，而且后面要跟which，所以把do省略了。

楼主有两个明显的问题：
1. it不是指代the dollar bill的，the dollar bill会有8.1g吗？
2.这里是less作副词比较动词weighs，而不是重量和名词。
