还有一道~~
正确的是：Citing faulty voting equipment, confusing ballots, voter error, and problems at polling places, a new study of the 2000 United States presidential election has estimated that 4 million to 6 million of the 100 million votes cast were not counted.
比较下另一句：A new study of the 2000 United States presidential election, citing faulty voting equipment, confusing ballots, voter error, and problems at polling places, has estimated 4 million to 6 million votes had not been counted of the 100 million votes cast.
第二句是不是因为主谓语隔得太远所以不太好？还有estimate后面跟句子必须要有that引导么？ 作者: stucash 时间: 2010-2-20 08:26
第一题E换成earn也不对哦, 首先indicate后面的that必须要, 宾语从句that不能去掉;尤其看是indicate后面这个that, 我曾经有错过. 另外, compare要求平行, E选项前后对比不平行. 改来改去还是不确定.等等看高人解释, 这里的as作用是什么呢, 因为有了as, compare的对象就不冲突了.... [补充]刚才看了下, as这里确实是重新确立的比较对象, 只是有省略, 补全是as (what is) compared to 42 times their pay, 这里what 就是419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, 因为重复所以省去了; as做连词, 不过as在这里有具体的意思么? [补充2]不用理会as的意义了，找到prep上大牛们的详解，贴给你： 比较-compare/contrast的用法，(as) compared to/with（GMAT没有区分to和with的区别），省略了主语和系动词，即A be compared with/to B，与in contrast to都是惯用法，前后比较对象一定要对等。常见的错误用法有：将compare用作主动(when compare…; comparing…)，比较对象不对等。
不过要补一个是as compared to和compared to也有区别的, 虽然都是省略主语和系动词, 默认了之前提到过的比较对象, 但有as的话有一个承前的作用, 像这里就明确了比较对象是as前的那个东西; compared to A, B, 则必须要A和B对等, 但没有as的承前, 放在句子中就会造成比较对象不明确; 所以GMAT一般都把它放句首, 明确比较对象. 这也是该题选项E, A错误的原因, 你会发现比较对象不对等.
