看了其他人的帖子我概括一下下: (A) While it costs about the same to run nuclear plants as other types of power plants, it is the fixed costs that stem from building nuclear plants that makes it more expensivefor them to generate electricity. (B) While the cost of running nuclear plants is about the same as for other types of power plants, the fixed costs that stem from building nuclear plants make the electricity they generate more expensive. (C) Even though it costs about the same to run nuclear plants as for other types of power plants, it is the fixed coststhat stem from building nuclear plants that makes the electricitthey generate more expensive. (D) It costs about the same to run nuclear plants as for other types of power plants, whereas the electricity they generate is more expensive, stemming from the fixed costsof building nuclear plants. (E) The cost of running nuclear plants is about the same as other types of power plants, but the electricity they generate is made more expensive because of the fixed costs stemming from buildingnuclear plants A中as前面是it costs ....是一个句子,as后面是other types...是一个名词,不平行 B中as前面是cost,后面是(cost)for,cost是省略的,所以前面后面都是名词,也就平行了 C中前十it cost,句子,后面是(cost)for是名词,所以不平行 D和C一样 E前面是cost,后面是types虽然同是名词,但是明显就不可用平行结构。 这样对前半部分的分析就可以判断对错了,只是,cost为什么要省略而用for,我还是比较迷惑的,但是选项没有给of神马的,也没有干扰了~~~ -- by 会员 zhima427 (2012/7/23 14:47:31)
其实A 中的比较是没有问题的。 it costs about the same to run nuclear plants as other types of power plants 这句话中“it” 是 “to run nuclear plants” 的 placeholder; 改写一下就是:To run nuclear plants costs about the same as other types of power plants。 根据比较句相同VERB可以省略的原则,这句话后半句省略了to run. 完整写法是:To run nuclear plants costs about the same as( to run) other types of power plants。 而且OG中对D选项的解释也验证了这个说法,OG: The preposition "for" is redundant in comparing the two objects of "run"....所以OG认为 这个结构是 省略“to run”而去比较“to run” 后面的宾语.....
正确选项是在比较 the cost of running plant A 和 the cost for plant B= the cost of running plant B 所以省略了for就变成了 cost 跟 plant的比较; 如果使用that of plant B(买工厂B的花费)那就改变了意思,the cost for plant B(run plant B 的花费) 如果必须要完全一致的话,那应该是 the cost of running nuclear plants is about the same as that of running other types of power plants......` |
