nope

less can only modifier uncountable nouns （this sentence ， sales）

额，弱弱弱弱地问，sales 不就是销售量么？不可数咩？

若为可数

应该可以数出来

你有见过人家说一个销售量，两个销售量么？

销售一个产品，销售两个产品，这样就符合逻辑

这里的less并不是比较而是和less than连用在具体数字之前表示少于，并不是修饰sales，而是修饰three hundred dollar。

wyw1018 · 发表于 2012-10-5 23:49:23

less than接具体数字，不表示比较

对，这也是我觉得有问题的一个原因，我觉得这题目没法做；想要表达的意思应该把A选项的of去掉

我更倾向C。。但是C选项有个lesser

A选项的of存在实为怪异

不知道是语法大全题目的问题还是个人能力仍有限

望释惑

LZ.........less than用于修饰dollars吧。。。

从语法角度上来看是of是作为modifier修饰sales

但是这样句意说不通

这题觉得有点问题

wyw1018 · 发表于 2012-10-6 00:03:45

A选项没问题，sales of xxx dollars 很正确，这部分并不参与比较而只是后面部分的subscribers 参与比较，重写一下就很清楚了。With fewer new subscribers than last year and total sales of less than three hundred thousand dollars
中文翻译出来也很顺畅不矛盾：新英格兰剧院公司（今年）的总销售收入低于30万美元，且新订阅者比去年少
