prep 24 对比省略历史遗留问题

OO335722076

24  Employment costs rose 2.8 percent in the12 months that ended in September, slightly less than they did in the year that ended in theprevious quarter.

（A) less than they did

(B) less than it did

(C) less than they were

(D) lower than

(E) lower than they were  


answer：a 大家讨论很久的题了 我的问题是than之后是否要补全 prep上答案讲解是＂than in the year比较结构表达太模糊,完全可以理解为＂than others expected in the year或 than price rose in the year等等 ＂

但是我认为是可以省的，解释里面所说的情况中出现的歧义是完全的联想 都是没有在前句出现过的，如果这里不能省略，岂不是所有语句都不能省略？

求解 3q

the employment costs actually rise 2.8 percent


how can you say they are slight lower？？？ （stated by choice D）they are actually rising！


what is being compared here is the percentage of rising （choice A makes this point clear）


also，lower can never be an adv ， but less can


you can knock out choice D based on these two reasons

这回答不是自相矛盾吗 1说lower不能做副词 2说比较的是percentage  要是比较的是percentage 那还用副词吗  恰好lower做adj就对了啊。。。

LZ没看懂DD意思，本题比较的是rose，less在这里做副词用于修饰rose

逻辑含义理解一下：“用工成本”今年上升2.8%，这个上升幅度与去年相比，稍“小”了一点。所以应该用 less。上升幅度的比较。。。

是没有理解我的吧  我说比较percentage不是我认为  我也认为是比较动作 用less  是ls说what is being compared here is the percentage of rising  
而且我发帖的问题是请教省略是否正确 不是lower和less的问题  问题都重新打了3遍没人看吗？

确实没看原帖，也不知道你LZ在这里乱叫唤个什么！！！
比较结构中,如果省略后会对省略结构造成歧义,则不能省略，为什么要说less和lower，就是想说，less可能是副词，也可能是形容词，造成这个句子里有两层意思：如果是形容词，那么比较的就不是rise而是2.8 percent了；如果是副词，那么比较的就是rise，而不是2.8 percent。
所以补出they did消除了这个歧义，明确比较的是rise。



(A) 正确, less在这里做副词,修饰动词rose; 使用did来代替重复的rose

哎  我真不知道我哪乱叫唤了。。。 两个不看问题的很激动的来回答  不过是想请人看看题目   一个问题回贴要到第2页了终于开始讨论问题了。。cd的氛围已经变成这样了吗  不过我真心觉得不看贴出来喊才是乱叫唤 如果得罪那不好意思 毕竟乱叫唤这也不是我先说的  在别人自己都不出来解释的情况下真没必要给别人解释  这是讨论问题的论坛 何必呢  讨论问题的地方环境搞成这样  什么没看懂dd的意思。。。  别人明确写着他认为比较的是percentage  却说我没理解dd的意思。。。  哎。。  这都什么环境 给大大擦屁股可以加分吗

你没懂我的意思。不能省。省了句意不清晰

只有补出主谓才能理解你是比较上升的趋势
