[求助] GWD-TN-23 Q8: PP 50 (prep 50)

 The automobile company announced that the average price of next year's models would decrease four-tenths of one percent, amounting to about $72, as compared with comparably equipped cars and trucks this year.

A. The automobile company announced that the average price of next year's models would decrease four-tenths of one percent, amounting to about    $72, as compared with comparably equipped cars and trucks this year.

B. The automobile company announced that the average price of next year's cars and trucks would decrease four-tenths of one percen, or about $72, from that of comparably equipped models this year.

C. The automobile company announced that there would be a decrease of four-tenths of one percent in next year's models price, or about $72, below this year's comparably equipped cars and trucks.

D. Compared to comparably equipped models this year, the automobile company announced that the average price of next year's cars and trucks would decrease about $72, less by four-tenths of one percent.

E. Contrasted with comparably equipped cars and trucks of this year, the automobile company announced that the average price of next year's models would decrease about $72, or four-tenths of one percent.

这题我选了(B)

我晓得amounting to about $72 和 or about $ 72在字面上的意义是不同的

In fact,我认为or about $72比较正确，只是我不能苟同答案(B)后面的”from that of comparably equipped models this year”.

这个句型我看不懂

from what?

that of ?

有请NN帮忙解释一下…..

二楼分析的有道理。另外，A中的对比对象也不对等，the average price of next year’s models would decrease four-tenths of one percent, amounting to about $72, as compared with comparably equipped cars and trucks this year.黄色部分是对比的两个对象，前者是数字，后者是汽车，不对等，如果后边加上that of就行了。但还有一点不如B好的是，该句先用了型号这个统称代替汽车和卡车，句未才说出具体东西，这里有扰乱读者思路的感觉。不过这个不算是硬伤，考场上不要用这点来排除该选项，关键还是要找出比较关系的平衡对称问题。
