看了以前的讨论: http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=23&ID=17460

还是觉得E最好, A明显有歧义啊. that给人的感觉就是exquisite bouquet. 这里E就没有任何问题.

E. 最后的  bouquet 不需要，冗长，虽然没有语法错误。

A. that 指的就是 bouquet, 简洁而已。所以答案依旧应该是 A.

我觉得应该是选最好的. 虽然E中的bouquet可以省略, 但是A中的that有指exquisite bouquet的嫌疑. 这样就是歧义. 那么E自然就是最好的答案了.

我也错选了e，但后来分析，觉得是不是这样理解：that一般指代前面的中心词，不包括修饰成分，所以可以认为不会造成歧义，即A中的that不会指代exquisite bouquet，而是指代bouquet。

是这样吗？期待nn确认。。。。

当然是A好

首先，E中第二个bouquet是多余的；

其次，TO  compare ....is to  compare 中的两个to compare的对象应该尽量的平行，无论从形式上，还是逻辑意思上。就像汉语里的比喻一样。A中的两个to compare 后都用 ...OF....明显好些。

再次， a fine wine’s bouquet 这种表达方式应该没有 bouquet of a fine wine好。毕竟，wine是无生命或类似的东东。
