the conmmitment of their parents and gradparents 和前面的commitment
你看这两个比较对等么。。。the conmmitment of their parents and gradparents 应该和the conmmitment of young people 对等的~作者: 南瓜妹妹 时间: 2011-5-7 19:41 D 选项正解：a commitment (to work) 和 a career 是平行的，也就是说这二者是less of 修饰的并列成分。 C 选项错在：如果选C，那么smaller就只能修饰 commitment , 而career则没有了比较级的修饰了，改编句意。
