在GMATclub上看到的一道题:
According to enrollment statistics published by U.S. medical schools, the number of female medical students is equivalent to the number of male medical students currently enrolled in medical school
A. the number of female medical students is equivalent to the number of male medical students currently enrolled in medical school
B. as many female as male students are currently enrolled in medical school
C. the number of female students is as many as that of male students
D. as great as the number of female is the number of male students currently enrolled in medical school
E. female and male students are currently enrolled in equal numbers in medical school
OA:B
上面有人解释为什么C错的原因是the number不能和many一起用,这一点不是很懂。难道many换成much就对了?因为D用了as great as也不对。
有大神可以解惑一下嘛?谢谢
c 完全逻辑不通 , the number of (女生的数量是单一的)单数...当然不可以和as many as (是一样的多(可数名词复数)).. 要修饰the number of ,就需要描述性形容词,比如说as low as ..as high as ......
much是修饰不可数名词的
there's as much water in A as in B
俺是菜鸟一只。只能勉强了
the number of female students currently enrolled in medical school is as great as the number of male students currently enrolled in medical school
D. as great as the number of female is the number of male students currently enrolled in medical school
个人觉得非常的awkward
female 后面少了students ,,,而后面的 male students currently enrolled in medical school 似乎表达是female和male students currently enrolled in medical school 比较,而不是和female students currently enrolled in medical school
换句话说就是currently enrolled in medical school紧跟在male students后,就应该只修饰male students
