LZ，下次提问请贴原题，方便大家查阅
摘自excel（国外解释）：
1）
55% more delay and 55 percent increase in delays both possess different meanings.
55% more delay means the increase in time a person has to spend on airport
55 percent increase in delays means the increase in number of flights that get delayed（it clearly brings in the quantitative number of flights into picture. ）
2）Note that in (A), it used "55% more delays." No one has a problem with this. (B) changes it. That in and of itself is a red flag. Thinking about which is clearer, it should be apparent that "55% more delay" means a longer delay instead of a larger number of delays. Distorting the intended meaning of the original sentence = wrong.作者: winniesu 时间: 2012-9-1 16:16
