OG11-103

103. The development of a new jumbo rocket that is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit than the space shuttle and at a lower cost.

　　（A） The development of a new jumbo rocket that is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit than the space shuttle and at a lower cost.

　　（B） The development of a new jumbo rocket is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration and be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit at a lower cost than the space shuttle.

　　（C） The new development of a jumbo rocket， which is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration， will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit at a lower cost than the space shuttle.

　　（D） A newly developed jumbo rocket， which is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration， will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit than the space shuttle can， and at a lower cost.

　　（E） A newly developed jumbo rocket， which is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration， will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit than the space shuttle and to cost less.

为什么E不对？to cost less和to deliver平行不对么？

比较不对称，这里是A newly developed jumbo rocket can deliver得东西和shuttle can deliver得东西。  to cost和to deliver不平行，逻辑意思不对，不能说rocket be able to cost/也就是说不能说roket有能力cost。这里需要注意be able to 得用法

be able to == can?

FlowerJay

be able to有主观的意思，就是说，我认为我可以，我认为我具有这个能力，能不能做取决于我（主语）。 Can是可以，表示功能性的意思。 据个例子， I am able to run 1000 miles an hour.  The machine can reach moon within 10 hours. 这里说无论怎么样，机器具有这个速度。但是没准我今天心情好我就跑了1000，明天就跑了200。如果两个词放在一起，大部分情况选can

cool.谢谢楼上的FlowerJay

这道题目问得好！问得都是我要问的。

答得也好！

我不明白为什么space shuttle后面一定要跟can呢？比较句不是可以省略相同的动词的吗？比如I love her more than you (do).呵呵。。。

哦！我刚刚想到，是不是如果space shuttle后面没有can，就容易引起歧异呢？就是容易让人误解为比较对象不是“rocket的能力”和“space shuttle的能力”，而是a heavier load of instruments 和 space shuttle的重量.比如C选项：

The new development of a jumbo rocket, which is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration, will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit at a lower cost than the space shuttle.

 同问~!

站在一楼跳楼

逻辑上没有了can应该是用rocket来发射比the space shuttle更 heavier的load of instruments
