GWD 1-16，我错在哪儿啊？

我觉得你的理解有偏差；

What was as remarkable as the development of the compact disc has been the use of the new technology to revitalize, in better sound than was ever before possible, some of the classic recorded performances of the pre-LP era.

这道题更复杂，关键ETS把句式全部给打乱了。（some of the classic recorded performances of the pre-LP era）(by using the new technology to revitalize)  in better sound than ever before was possible.

为了突出新技术，把它提前。

举个中文的例子：

Mindfree的GMAT成绩比别人的都高！

比较的对象是Mindfree和其他人，比较的是成绩，用句子表示的话就会省略成绩，而保留主语，这里主语不同。

再看这道题，其实要表达的意思就是：电视开销所占总开销的部分比以前（电视开销所占的）都要多。

同样比较对象是电视开销，比较的是电视开销所占用的总开销部分。

不知道这么说，有没有说明白。

leeon ah, I can't agree with you.

你说的意思都不错，但是你改写了原举。唉呀，我要写我的想法的话，太长了。简而言之，我觉得比较结构在主句中，和它在修饰成分中，省略的原则有所步同。Please note that you've rewritten the OG 30 so that the origianl, discussed comparison is no longer an issue in your rewritten sentence. By deleting "revitalize", you've changed the structure of the sentence. Also, OG 30 doesnt mean "some of the classic recorded performances of the pre-LP era) was in better sound than was ever before" because the "was" doesn't agree with " the performances". So your interpretation is incorrect. Therefore, the omitting part in original sentence ( in better sound than was ever before) is not " some of the classic recorded performances" but " the sound".

What you think?

说句实在话，这道题我一直觉得有问题，既然现在大家要讨论，那就借此讨论个彻底！

What was as remarkable as the development of the compact disc has been the use of the new technology to revitalize, in better sound than was ever before possible, some of the classic recorded performances of the pre-LP era.

(A)  What was as remarkable as the development of the compact disc

(B)   The thing that was as remarkable as developing the compact disc

(C)  No less remarkable than the development of the compact disc

(D)  Developing the compact disc has been none the less remarkable than

(E)   Development of the compact disc has been no less remarkable as

Besides being wordy, the clauses beginning What was in A and The thing that was in B cause inconsistencies in verb tense: the use of the new technology cannot logically be described by both the present perfect has been and the past was. In B and D, developing the compact disc is not parallel to the use of new technology to revitalize ... performances; in C, the best answer, the noun development is parallel to use. The phrases none the less ... than in D and no less... as in E are unidiomatic; the correct form of expression, no less ... than, appears in C, the best choice.

这里的better sound than，是比较，所以这里的better应该是副词，那么这样的话,后面的sound就不能为名词，而只能是动词或形容词，用在形容词这里明显解释不通，用作动词我觉得和前面的介词in又矛盾，因为前面的介词in限定了这里只能是名词或动名词，那么也就限定了better是形容词，那么这里的比较何在？如果改成sound better than ever before就能解决前面的问题。而且这时的主语就很明显了。

支持A，请看大全10：

1.        A large rise in the number of housing starts in the coming year should boost new construction dollars by several billion dollars, making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than five years ago.

(A) making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than five years ago

(B) and make the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than five years ago

(C) making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than it was five years ago

(D) to make the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than five years ago（C）

(E) in making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than it as five years ago

支持选A。比较costs逻辑上不通。

另外，in better sound中的sound是名词，better是形容词。我查了金山词霸（不要鄙视我）

better adj.
Comparative of good;
good的比较级形式;

Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than it was in any previous election.

1. a greater proportion than it was
2. a greater proportion than
3. a greater proportion than they have been
4. which is greater than was so
5. which is greater than it has been

I think B is better.  In choice A, "was" is not the proper tense.  Inspired by Leeon.

Soaring television costs (accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992),a greater proportion than( the proportion had been) in any previous election.

這題討論很久了，記得答案原本公布為C，但後來討論是B

理由是B在than後面省略了had accounted

我觉得it不对，因为它指代a greater proportion 而不是proportion，所以A肯定不对，愚见，请赐教！

这题经过Rhod指教后

其实一直有疑惑

后来看了大全这题后

299.  Florida will gain another quarter-million jobs this year alone, many of them in high-paying fields like electronics and banking, making the state’s economy far more diversified than ten years ago.

(A) high-paying fields like electronics and banking, making the state’s economy far more diversified than

(B) high-paying fields like electronics and banking, and making the state’s economy far more diversified than its economy

(C) high-paying fields such as electronics and banking, to make the state’s economy far more diversified than

(C)** high-paying fields such as electronics and banking, making the state’s economy far more diversified than

(D) such high-paying fields as electronics and banking, making the state’s economy far more diversified than it was

(E) such high-paying fields as electronics and banking, and make the state’s economy far more diversified than it was

如果c改成像 (C)** 你会选哪个?

我还是维持我原来的决定选a

如果各位要知道我选a的原因

到前几层楼找找吧…..
