Dirt roads may evoke the bucolic simplicity of another century, but financially strained townships point out that dirt roads cost twice as much as maintaining paved roads.

(A) dirt roads cost twice as much as maintaining paved roads

(B) dirt roads cost twice as much to maintain as paved roads do

(C) maintaining dirt roads costs twice as much as paved roads do

(D) maintaining dirt roads costs twice as much as it does for paved roads（B）

(E) to maintain dirt roads costs twice as much as for paved roads

排除的话我能选B ，但是怎么看B怎么别扭啊！

(B) dirt roads cost twice as much to maintain as paved roads do

觉得as much as 应该在一起！能说：

dirt roads cost twice to maintain as much as paved roads do 吗？？这个样子对吗？

谢谢 ！

我反而觉得to maintain 放在里面比较顺眼

放在里面 比较像修饰dirt roads 和 paved roads

放前面感觉比较像只修饰dirt roads

不知这样对不对?

bobomomo

我感觉，后面的DO ,已经表示，to maintain 了！这样已经保证了比较的一致性了啊！

还是觉得，放前面顺眼啊！！

do 表示 cost

rt316

as much as作为一个副词结构修饰动词，如果放在maintain后而不是cost后会造成as much as修饰歧义；B－dirt roads cost twice as much to maintain as paved roads do中的to maintain可以看成一个补语成分，如果我们将这个成分去掉，句子就成为：dirt roads cost twice as much as paved roads do, do指代cost，由此可将as much as是十分清楚地修饰动词cost。

原来是这样 thanks!!

谢谢斑竹！收到！

但是还要笨苯的问！

B中to maintain 作用2个方面－ 比较一致？总觉得B 的比较双方也不一致啊！

谢谢！

rt316

B比较的是dirt roads cost这个主谓结构和paved roads do(cost)这个主谓结构，所以比较对象都为主谓结构，对等。
