关于OG20总册-840的reduce

irisrebelle

The tourism commission has conducted surveys of hotels in the most popular resorts, with the ultimate goal of reducing the guests who end up expressing overall dissatisfaction with the service in the hotels.
(A) with the ultimate goal of reducing the guests who end up expressing overall dissatisfaction with the service in the hotels
(B) with the goal to ultimately reduce the number of guests who end up expressing overall dissatisfaction with the hotels’ service
(C) ultimately with the goal to reduce expressions of overall dissatisfaction by the guests with the hotel service
(D) in an ultimate attempt to reduce the number of guests that ends up expressing overall dissatisfaction with the hotels’ service
(E) with the ultimate goal of reducing the number of guests who express overall dissatisfaction with the hotels’ service


一开始选了A 答案是E。答案的解析是：reduce 的是number而不是guests, 但是我认为A选项这里减少guests是合适的，因为who...这里做限制性定语从句，减少不满意的客户也是tourism commission想看到的结果，意思上似乎没有问题。


不知道有没有大神指点一下A为什么不能选！！是因为reduce 不能跟人搭配，只能修饰数据吗？？感谢大家！！

A不能选就是解析说的那个原因   减少只能减少数值啊 你怎么能去减少people呢。

好吧，我有点理解了，查了资料看到reduce用于人更多的是“使人陷入某种悲惨的境遇”
