请教OG-98

Transnational cooperation among corporations is experiencing a model renaissance among United States firms,
even though projects undertaken by two or more corporations under a collaborative agreement are less
profitable than projects undertaken by a singly corporation . The advantage of transnational cooperation is that
such joint international projects may allow United States firms to win foreign contracts that they would not
otherwise be able to win.
98. Which of the following statements by a United States corporate officer best fits the situation of United States
firms as described in the passage above?
(A) “We would rather make only a share of the profit and also risk only a share of a possible loss than run the full
risk of a loss.”
(B) “We would rather make a share of a relatively modest profit than end up making none of a potentially much
bigger profit.”
(C) “We would rather cooperate and build good will than poison the business climate by all-out competition.”
(D) “We would rather have foreign corporations join us in American projects than join them in projects in their
home countries.”
(E) “We would rather win a contract with a truly competitive bid of our own than get involved in less profitable
collaborative agreements.”

(B) 中than后面的" end up making none of a potentially much bigger profit.”怎么翻译?我怎么觉得去掉end up才通顺?不然意思不就反了么?

竹篮打水一场空。

以可能的更多利益一点都得不到而告终。

哦，end up是"以..告终"的意思,明白了~
