CEO's是CEO的复数表达,大家见过这种说法吗?XYGWD1-7

XYGWD1-7

A recent review of pay scales indicates that CEO’s now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times in 1980.

A. that CEO’s now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times

B. that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times

C. that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio

D. CEO’s who now earn on average 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio

E. CEO’s now earning an average of 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, compared to the ratio of 42 times

有NN解释如下:原贴见http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=23&ID=66883&page=2在6楼

这里CEO's是CEO的复数表达,不是所有格.

在某些首字母缩略的单词里,其复数形式可以加上s或's. 如:

VIP(Very important person), VIP's, VIPs

我从未见过这样的解释,请问是这个原因吗,因为原题中的CEO’s应该是作主语呢?????

自已答,见http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardid=23&replyid=517149&id=59319&page=1&skin=0&Star=2

这里CEO's是CEO的复数表达,不是所有格表达.

在某些首字母缩略的单词里,其复数形式可以加上s或's. 如:

VIP(Very important person), VIP's, VIPs POW(prisoner of war), POW's, POWs

参考自tianwan兄上传的章振邦语法P.119.

谢谢rhod!谢谢流沙!

我在RC的文章中已明确地看到了“...cheif executive officers(CEO’s)...”。大家在GMAT的文章里可以找到的。今天上来想自己回复一下的,一看rhod、流沙已讨论过了。

这个问题只是自己阅读时觉得有些不顺,但对做这道sc来说是无关紧要的。
