1.     Not all employment selection mechanisms that have a “disparate effect,” that is, that screens out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate to their presence in the relevant labor market, are unlawful.

(A) that is, that screens out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate to

(B) which means, that screens out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate with

(C) which means, that screen out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate with

(D) that is, that screen out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate to（D）

(E) that is, that screens out a percentage of minorities or women disproportionate with

我不清楚的地方是：

1、which means 为什么不对？

2、screen out 怎么翻译？

谢谢NN指点！

请参看http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=23&ID=74931，前辈们讨论很精彩。

如果用which means那后边就需要跟从句,that screens做为他的从句，语法上是错的，两者这间不应有逗号。这儿做为插入语，就需用that is

楼上的, 也就是说用THAT IS, 就不存在从句的问题了.

而用WHICH MEANS, 就不可避免. 那么如果是这种情况, 从句应该怎么说呢?

有点钻牛角间了,嘿嘿

有点体会，查了一下字典，全都是which means that，没有which means,that这样的结构

我想，用that is做插入语是英语的表达习惯吧，对于标准的语法术语我说不上来。

顶个帖子吧，和大家问的内容不太一样。希望牛牛进来看的时候，不要因为问题太简单不理我。谢谢先。
我想问的是，disproportionate 后面，习惯接to 还是with？我查过字典（只是想说，我有自己先做功课的）上面of, to, with, 都有例句。我在这个问题上就比较糊涂。希望有人拉小妹一下。
