A recent review of pay scales indicates that CEO’s now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times in 1980.

1. that CEO’s now earn an average of419 times more pay than  blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times
           
2. that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times
           
3. that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio
           
4. CEO’s who now earn on average 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio
           
5. CEO’s now earning an average of 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, compared to the ratio of 42 times

（1）有解释说A中的 419 times more pay than 是incorrect idiom...怎么会呢？

（2）原句中既然是419 times more pay than ，那么BCE选项中没有than了 就都应该是420 times the pay of 了吧？

即是说“x is n times more than y”应该转化为“x is n+1 times y”吧？呵呵 我是在想...是不是出题人自己都忽视了这个问题...还是我想错了...

呵呵 第二个问题虽然不影响解题 但是我很想弄清楚啊~~请大家帮帮忙解释一下咯

我晕，我怎么感觉你想多了，A表达错了，MORE THAN 前面不能加倍数～～～～我的理解是因为冗语的嫌疑，49 TIMES、more than，

只知道确实不能加倍数。。。。。LZM说的

第二个问题，哈哈，出题人没想到～～

问一下为什么不选B呢，谢谢了

对B的个人拙见：compare多数时候用被动，所谓GMAT语法大全有compare被动原则，虽不敢苟同，但这边觉得被动语态更好吧。
