大全 266 还是没有满意的答案

annawj

266.During the Great Depression, industrial output fell by nearly fifty percent from its peak in 1929 down to its nadir in 1933.
(B) During the Great Depression, industrial output fell by nearly fifty percent from its peak in 1929 to its nadir in 1933.
(D) At the time of the Great Depression, industrial output fell from its peak in 1929, by nearly fifty percent, to it nadir in 1933.
(E) During the Great Depression, industrial output fell from its peak in 1929 to its nadir in 1933 by nearly fifty percent.

搜索过了但还是没有满意的答案。为什么E不对？ B和E意义上有什么区别吗？

我做的时候是语感，看见的很多英文书上都是这么说。

语法上by nearly fifty percent 和from its peak in 1929 to its nadir in 1933都修饰fell，而前者对句子内容更重要，两个修饰分别去调，显然是去掉by nearly fifty percent 对句子意思的损失更大，也就是说by nearly fifty percent 修饰的重要性更高，所以放前面。我是这么想的。供你参考。

NN们来讲讲。

同意楼上NN们的看法，可是我当时做的时候就是觉得时间更为重要，才排除E的。问题就是，怎么来确定哪一个修饰成分对中心词更为重要呢？
