标题: OG12 SC94,求助
The recent surge in the number of airplane ?ights has clogged the nation’s air-traf?c control system, to lead to 55 percent more delays at airports, and prompts fears among some of?cials that safety is being compromised.
(A)     to lead to 55 percent more delays at airports, and prompts
(B)     leading to 55 percent more delay at airports and prompting
(C)     to lead to a 55 percent increase in delay at airports and prompt
(D)     to lead to an increase of 55 percent in delays at airports, and prompted
(E)     leading to a 55 percent increase in delays at airports and prompting


答案是E,我选的B。
看了解释,可是还是不理解,为什么 The phrase 55 percent more delays is not as clear as the phrase a 55 percent increase in delays。


有没有哪位高手可以帮忙解释一下啊?谢啦谢啦~~~

delay在这里可数啊

delay不用MORE,用INCREASE修饰。何况你用MORE了以后,THAN没有啊

题意应该是航班延误率,或延误的航班数量增加,所以才用an increase of 55 percent in delays ,表示一个量的增长
但C中的...a 55 percent increase in delay at airports and prompt. 不清楚,不知道是使航班的延误时间增加了55%, 还是延误的航班数量。且它用的单数,如果可能则只可能指延误时间。而这只对一个航班才比较说得过去的。但可想而知,不太合理。因为既然影响到整个air-traffic系统,那就不止一个航班了,所以.....呵呵~

我怎么觉得楼上不对呢。本来就没有提到时间,这里还不至于引起这样的歧义吧,有人能解释一下吗?

3楼说的对,我认为关键是在理解55 percent more delay和55 percent increase in delays上面,B选项不如E清楚的描述了。延误航班肯定要用复数的delay.

这题太狗血

og解释说:

A To lead and prompts are not parallel; 55
percent more delays is not clear.

B 55 percent more delay is unclear.

不管你delay用单数还是复数都不行,wtf ~~

55%表示的是个数字概念, increase也是个数字概念. 所以55% increase 更加符合书面用语习惯.

多看看wsj, economist之类的文章就会熟悉这种表达方式了.

我觉得 an increase 是固定说法 中间加了一个55 % 所以an 就变成a 了
