XDF准则说的是such as 大于LIKE 是我也选C，

选E的话，应该感觉是涉及到比较同类吧···铁和铝本身不是商品，所以前面要加限定？

如果选E的话，是不是like做“像什么一样”译？
我还是不知道为什么不能选C...

首先，需要知道的是like是不举例的，如果举例，就需要用such as 至于为什么选择E而不是C，需要了解一下。这里的Like不是做举例和such as比较，而是做为比较使用。具体抽象出来就是，A，like B, V C.A和B的语法结构对等，意思一致。就是commodities of aluminum and other metals和recycled commodities 比较。 而such as举例的话，具有含义上的问题。如C：The market for recycled commodities  such as aluminum and other metals remains  strong despite economic changes in the recycling industry.
such as之后的举例应该是同类的，如 commodities of aluminum and other metals 而不是aluminum and other metals 本身。
