OG 255

那位能帮我翻译一下这道题：

255. The bank holds $3 billion in loans that are seriously delinquent or in such trouble that it does not expect payments to be made when they are due.

看不懂这里的并列结构：

难道是：

The bank holds $3 billion in loans that are seriously delinquent or （that are）in such trouble that it does not expect payments to be made when they are due。这样的两个由or连接的并列结构修饰loans？ 怎么这么别扭？

谢谢谢谢！搭理我一下吧。嗬嗬！

OR前指拖欠,OR后指根本不可能还.

但是逻辑上说不通呀：loan are in such trouble that the bank does not expect payments to be made when they are due。Loan怎么能in trouble哪？

再谢！

还没烂掉那，不过快了。呵呵。

说正经的，我从来没有看到过类似于loan in trouble这种说法，印象中，通常都是人in trouble。不过有可能是我的思维的问题。anyway，十分感谢兄弟出手相助。

借这个帖子问一下

255. The bank holds $3 billion in loans that are seriously delinquent or in such trouble that they do not expect payments when due.

(A)  they do not expect payments when

(B)  it does not expect payments when it is

(C)  it does not expect payments to be made when they are

(D)  payments are not to be expected to be paid when

(E)   payments are not expected to be paid when they will be

Choice C, the best answer, expresses its meaning clearly and directly, with subject-verb agreement throughout. Choice A is incorrect: although in some dialects of English a bank is treated as a plural entity, in this case The bank holds clearly establishes that bank is grammatically singular, and thus it cannot be referred to with the plural pronoun they. Further­more, the structure of they do not expect payments when due makes the modification of due unclear. In B, it correctly refers to the singular bank, but payments when it is due introduces an agreement error between plural payments and singular it. In D and E, the use of the passive (payments are not... expected to be paid) does not contribute meaningfully to the sentence and thus is unwarranted, while payments... to be paid is redun­dant and unidiomatic. Also, are not to be in D and will be in E inappropriately shift action to the future.

我想问问，在gmat中，or不需要和and一样需要结构上平行吗？ 谢谢大家了

这道题到底在说什么呀？

请NN翻译一下吧

welkin 看的太仔细了, 我觉得是可以通的, 再加上这里不是考点, 所以OG没有故意设计

不同意OR不用平行 , 基本上OR跟AND 式同样用法的.
