以下是引用1stzhang在2003-9-1 18:20:00的发言: 如果选A,我们把这个题目还原就是:because of XX, the grain produces in country A reduced to 1325 tons, 45% less than tons of country B。这个没有办法讲的通
The answer should be B. what is compared here is the amount. a number as a whole is used as a single. The meaning here is : An amount that is 45% fewer than that of country A.
以下是引用gmat770在2003-9-1 12:24:00的发言: because of XX, the grain produces in country A reduced to 1325 tons,_____ A 45% less than those of country B B 45% fewer than that of country A 觉得应该用fewer than,因为是比较tons; 而than后面应该是those,因为是produces 不知道有没有更好的解释?
The answer is A, if there is no better choice. grain produces 包括一堆谷物产量。复形produces有复念,不可数。 所以比较的时候用less than, 指代的时候用those A中的those不可能指代tons
