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
(A) compared to的比较对象不对等,前者419 times the pay of blue-collar workers表达的是工资数, 而后者a ratio of是比率。 (B) a ratio that compares的compare不能用主动方式表达,应该是被比较sth be compared to…的省略形式(省略了主语和系动词,是惯用法);compare to的比较对象不对象等,前者419 times the pay of blue-collar workers表达的是工资数,而后者42 times是比率。 (C) 正确,as compared to比较结构,419 times the pay与42 times their pay比较,the ratio…是同位语。 (D) 缺少that引导宾语从句;indicates CEO's who…句子结构不完整,缺少谓语,who引导定语从句 修饰名词CEO's。 (E) 缺少that引导宾语从句;indicates CEO's earning…句子结构不完整,缺少谓语;compare to的 比较对象不对等,前者419 times the pay of blue-collar workers表达的是工资数,而后者42 times是 比率。
这道题我知道A为什么是错的,但是觉得很奇怪为什么“419 times the pay of blue-collar workers”为什么不是ratio,而与其平行的“42 times their pay”就可以被认为是ratio, 比如说如果这题把B选项修改为”that, on average, CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compared to 42 times“能不能算对呢?
呜呜本小菜鸡纠结好久,麻烦各位友友发表一下看法!
