OG13 sc 9 请教NN们~~~

yiqing2012

9. In 1979 lack of rain reduced India’s rice productionto about 41 million tons, nearly 25 percentless than those of the 1978 harvest.

(A) less than those of the 1978 harvest

(B) less than the 1978 harvest

(C) less than 1978

(D) fewer than 1978

(E) fewer than that of India’s 1978 harvest

看过了其它的帖子，又看了几遍OG的解释还是不理解：1）为什么不能比较tons,而一定要比较rice production呢？
2）在nearly 25 percent less than those of the 1978harvest 前面到底省略了什么？是which is 还是which are还是。。。?
3）A中解释说those 应该指代tons,如果those指代tons，OG上为什么没有提less应该改成fewer的错误，而仅仅只说有语义重复的问题呢？
4）解释上说的think of 41 million tons of rice as the collective equivalent of the 1979 harvest 到底包含了什么含义？
求NN们指导~~

我感觉这道题OG解释弄复杂了
从语义上来说：产量比前一年少了25% 变成了40M TONS ，那40M TONS应该是前一年 ...

说的很对！应该是从语义出发。特别是关于40M实际是已经减少的量，所以是不可能将40M tons进行比较的，这个点很关键！感谢！！！！

这样想想 好像说“比1978年的收成的吨数少”确实不太对哦

谢谢DUKB24的解释，很好。
补充一下，这里用less 是因为use less with unit nouns.

之前看Manhattan一直是这么记的 但是刚刚看到各种各样的解释之后 我迷茫了……

OG上的解释感觉并没有否定that/those of 因为前面没有类似的结构所以不对，而是因为that/those的指代会 ...

可是og的解释里确实说了those指代的是tons呀…就算他解释的不完全 总不能是错的吧

Less and fewer
1、When something uncountable decreases, we use “less”:
1) Pennsylvania has less land than does Georgia.
2) I have gotten less water in my basement since sealing the windows.
2、When something countable decreases, we use “fewer”:
1) My dorm had fewer international students.
2) When fewer people are unemployed, the interest rates tend to rise.

3、when we compare numbers, and numbers decrease, we can simply go back to using “less.”
1) The population of Mongolia is less than that（the population） of Los Angeles.
2) The cost of a night at the opera is less than total cost of a day at the ballgame.
