1.                             One view of the economy contends that a large drop in oil prices should eventually lead to lowering interest rates, as well as lowering fears about inflation, a rally in stocks and bonds, and a weakening of the dollar.fficeffice" />

(A) lowering interest rates, as well as lowering fears about inflation,

(B) a lowering of interest rates and of fears about inflation,

(C) a lowering of interest rates, along with fears about inflation,

(D) interest rates being lowered, along with fears about inflation,（B）

(E) interest rates and fears about inflation being lowered, with

答案是B,语法上同意，但是原文中用了AS WELL AS这个词组表达的不是并列关系，即A as well as B不等于A and B, 所以我觉得C 更符合愿意，且也没有语法错误，请牛牛们指教。

改变句子原意，与经济常识不符。

zcx

我的意思就是b选项改变句子原意，根据A as well as B的意思：“A 是主要的，B是补充的”这个来看，b选项把A和B并列，而不是认为B是补充或附带的

jnlvo

C: 如改成a lowering of fears about inflation,意思上可能更贴近句子原意，现在就与实际常识(也就是本句的基本原意)相反。C的观点可以认为就是与A相反。B更近A。

zcx

能否把你认为的b和c选项的翻译传上来看看，我是这样翻译的：b:利息的下降和对通货膨胀的担心的减少； c:利息的下降，连带对通货膨胀的担心的下降。



所以我觉得两个答案的意思是一致的，但c 用了along with表示附带关系

jnlvo

连带对通货膨胀的担心的下降。


along with 没有a lowering，强行认为可以和前面的a lowering共享，我认为没有依据。

看B：


a lowering of,,,,a rally in,,,,,and a weakening of 很有节奏的


看C:


a loweing of,,,,along with fears, ,,,,a rally in,,,, and a weakening of


fears, ,,,,和a rally in,,,,     a weakening of,,,,,是不大平行的，因为a rally, a weakening 都是反映一种趋势，而fears没有。

c改变了句子的原意，意思是说“利息率下降的过程中伴着对通货膨胀的恐惧——通货膨胀的恐惧是没有降低的。”（a lowering of interest rates, along with fears about inflation）


而b则如原文所说，利息率和通货膨胀是同时下降的。

完全Maotian的分析,我有一个问题请教各位XDJM, a lowering of ...是一种名词化的动名词,从语法角度来说,如把"a"去掉,不知在语法上是否是正确的?

....lead to  lowering of interest rates and of fears about inflation, rally in stocks and bonds, and  weakening of the dollar.

即:lead to lowering...,rally...,and weakenging of ...

谢谢赐教!
