GWD1-Q7:
A recent review of pay scales indicates that CEO’s now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times in 1980.
A. that CEO’s now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times
B. that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times
C. that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio
D. CEO’s who now earn on average 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio
E. CEO’s now earning an average of 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, compared to the ratio of 42 times
TN给的答案为:C
但是我感觉B更好啊,因为C中的their指代不清啊,请解释一下,谢谢……
在一个讨论上看到的:
A,compare to的前后不匹配,CEO和a ratio
B is the best,a ratio that ...用ratio指代前面经常是ETS正确答案的标志
C,their指代不清
D、E,缺that
B)A recent review of pay scales indicates that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times in 1980.
C) A recent review of pay scales indicates that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio in 1980.
我自己一開始是選B 也認為C的their指代不清 因此把BC兩句跟原題做了結合,如上,這樣看了比較清楚
iamwuyan提到B錯在compares.我想他說的原因是動詞時態--跟1980的ratio做比較,compare動作既已完成應該用過去式;AlienX說42times後面少了受詞--的確跟原題結合之後,搞不懂42倍是跟1980年啥東西做比較
C選項有加受詞相對清楚,但their指代不是很清楚一開始會造成困擾。不過細細推敲句意,CEO的薪水是藍領工人的419倍-->419:1,以藍領工人的薪水為基準;42 times their pay--> 42:1,比較的對象在結構上要平衡,所以還是以藍領工人的薪水為基準,所以42 times their pay的their指代藍領工人
個人一點想法 不知這樣的邏輯正確否,請各位指教
(A)
compared to的比較物件不物件,前者419 times the pay of
blue-collar workers表達的是工資數,
而後者a ratio of是比率。
(B) a ratio that compares的compare不能用主動方式表達,應該是被比較sth
be
compared
to…的省
略形式(省略了主語和系動詞,是慣用法);compare
to的比較物件不物件,前者419
times
the
pay
of blue-collar workers表達的是工資數,而後者42 times是比率。
(C) 正確,as
compared
to比較結構,419
times
the
pay與42
times
their
pay比較,the
ratio…是同位
語。
(D) 缺少that引導賓語從句;indicates CEO’s who…句子結構不完整,缺少謂語,who引導定語從句
修飾名詞CEO’s。
(E) 缺少that引導賓語從句;indicates CEO’s earning…句子結構不完整,缺少謂語;compare
to的
比較物件不物件,前者419 times the
pay of blue-collar workers表達的是工資數,而後者42 times是
比率。
