算算数，现在是约1/2，如果是E的话，那么就是从10年前的某个数降了3/4(by three-quarters), 1/2 + 3/4 超过 1 啦。。。 所以应该是从3/4降到了1/2才对，也就是D的意思。作者: 仙蒂瑞拉 时间: 2009-12-10 23:25
5.amounting to a little less than half the population of the state, down from what it was a decade ago by nearly three-quarters.
what it was a decade age 指代的就是3/4这个比例,与后面的 by nearly three-quarters重复.所以不对.
