[求助] 885 section B 20

lilyhuang

20. Because of the business community 's uncertainty about the President's position in regard to the issue of the budget deficit, an unanticipated rise in interest rates has occured.

(A)in regard to the issue of the budget deficit, an unanticipated rise in interest rates has
(B)on the deficit, an unanticipated rise in interest rates has

the answer is B. B看上去比A简洁,但是它丢掉budget, 不是说不能改变原来的意思吗？因为我们可以说budget deficit, trade deficit, or others. 有没有其它的观点?

the deficit明显指代the budget deficit。可以认为是一种省略的说法。
因为前面刚刚提到它。

To gemj:

I found the phrase in dictionary: one's position on this problem 某人对这问题的看法

或许这 题的出题点是一个习惯用语,只是仍旧觉得DEFICIT不应该省略,不明白你说的"前面刚刚提到它".

是啊，前面什么时候提到了 budget

position on issue习惯用法。

以下是引用Snazzy在2003-12-12 1:38:00的发言：
how come deficit refers to 'budget deficit'??? it's weird

我覺得是講到 deficit 就應該要知道是budget deficit....

講budget deficit 顯的就有點多餘了

就像og裡有一題講到soaring....soaring這個字本身本身就

含有rise的意思...所以我再寫那題的時候有rise的選項都排除

不是吧 DEFICIT有很多很多中，这样不说BUDGET DEFICIT而只说DEFICIT是更为本质性的错误！

很不理解，我觉得应该选A，有谁进来指点一下么？
