XDF补充材料４４

[face=Verdana]#44) The commission acknowledged that no amount of money or staff members can ensure the safety of people who live in the vicinity of a nuclear plant, but it approved the installation because it believed that all reasonable precautions had been taken.

C) neither vast amounts of money nor numbers of staff members
D) neither vast amounts of money nor a large staff

答案是 (D), 其选项是不是少了 members　在最后面？　选项 C　有什么错误？[/face]

C staff members不对，LZM告诉我们：没有这么说的。。。赫赫

D没错，staff除了指members of such group外（比如 15 staff in my school），还有一个意思就是the group of workers（比如 I have a staff of 30.）

用 a large staff 好像是习惯用法，记住就行了。

感觉如果C改成 numbers of staff 可能就行了，但是还是不如 a large staff好，因为和前面的 vast amounts of 相对应

numbers of 虽然指很多，但不如large来得直白，因为这里就是要强调多和大。
因为简洁和明了，所以选d
