Senior executives had a larger percentage increase in pay in 1990 than the wages of other salaried workers.

(c) the 1990 increase in pay for senior executives was larger in terms of percentage than

(E)the pay of senior executives increased in 1990 by a larger percentage than did

请教如何找到这种平衡结构的对应关系，如何分析像以上的这道题，

平行结构或比较结构都强调对象的对等性。此题我们仅仅讨论比较关系。如此例：senior executives had a larger percentage increase in pay in 1990，句子读到这里，出现了比较词larger，比较的核心内容肯定是percentage increase，但是比较对象到底是不同的人senior executives和workers呢？还是不同的方面in pay和in welfare呢？甚至是不同的年代in 1990和1980呢？这些问题都可能由于比较的表达不清造成句意模糊。当比较不同的主语相同的谓语(时态可能不同)时，如此例中senior executives和salaried workers，我们通过在比较级后补出动词的方法达到表达精确的目的；而在比较状语结构时，我们仅需补出介词结构，比如：had a larger percentage increase in pay than in welfare，或had larger percentage increase in pay in 1990 than in 1980. 综上所述，表达的目的是意思精确，没有歧义。当然，比较或平行结构还有些变化超出我前述的内容，在复习时特别留心，作一下总结会建立更为全面的看法。
