这题的E,OG的解释是"more than" should immediately follow" $5 a barrel",为什么呢?有什么歧义?
嗯 明白了。看了千行excel的解释,说E有歧义,其中一个意思就是你说的这个。还有个意思是“比去年支付的油钱多付了5美元(intended meaning)” 我把解释贴过来 refiners pay about $5 a barrel for crude oil more than they did. 当more做形容词时: crude oil (more than)they did:他们去年支付的油钱比5美元要少 当more 做副词时: crude oil (more)than they did:比去年支付的油钱多付了5美元(intended meaning) 就像你说的,这时more是做形容词,它修饰的是谁呀? 谢谢
