指教:白勇第九章第六题:

风过疏竹

While the base salary for the top five officers of the company did not change from 1990 to 1991, cuts were made in nonsalary compensation, as in allowances for overseas assignments and club memberships.

A cuts were made in nonsalary compensation, as in

B cuts were made in such nonsalary compensation as

C cuts were made in such nonsalary compensation as those in

D cuts in nonsalary compensation were made in areas like

E there were cuts made in nonsalary compensation, in areas like

 

我选C.但正确答案是B.在解答中,提到C错的原因是,those 无法指代单数名词nonsalary compensation, 那如果把those 改成that呢? 什么时候介词in 能省略,什么时候不能?

句子本身是  cuts were made in nonsalary compensation.

那个such as 只不过是对nonsalary compensation 的举例说明--什么样的nonsalary compensation呢？-- such nonsalary compensation as allowances and club memberships.

没有必要that in,即使语法正确

请指正

这题要从句意上理解，这里添加一个代词其实是多余的。nonsalary compensation 和后面的allowances刚好概念对等。 如果你要加上代词补充完整就变成 cuts were made in such nonsalary compensation as nonsalary compensation  in allowances 。其中nonsalary compensation  in allowances 是什么意思啊？哪有这种东西？

C is wordy and awkward

such as举例，不是比较，所以没有必要加those
