OG紫色一道毛题,解释的逻辑看不明白,请大虾指点!

pychina

Carbon-14 dating reveals that the megalithic monuments in Brittany are nearly 2，000 years as old as any of their supposed Mediterranean predecessors．

(A)  as old as any of their supposed

(B)  older than any of their supposed

答案是B,理由是(1) Comparisons must be logical and easy to follow. The Brittany monuments are logically older than the Mediterranean ones．Therefore，the appropriate comparison uses the phrase older than，not as old as．也就是说B应该更老.

不明白为什么B就logically的older呢?

反而我看见Mediterranean对应的是predecessors,即前任,前辈.那么也就是说你至少和前辈差不多老吧,怎么可能比前任还老呢?

请高人指点!!

就看句子意思，怎么能说 is 2000 years as old as..

能说 he is 20 years as old as you么

pychina

那如果要表达 "他20岁,和我一样大"该如何说? 

plato1983

He is 20 years old, as old as I am. PS:毛题是啥意思。

pychina

还是没人回答我题目的问题啊,BM 为什么logically地还老过他的predecessor呢?

首先as old as那样用有问题,然后就得换个角度想---其实句子要表达的是谁比谁OLD的问题

还有。SUPPOSED说明了M本来貌似是前辈，但是事实发现不是咯。。
