以下是引用snowjing在2005-7-26 0:56:00的发言: lower应该是修饰estimate的,指对可用时间的估计低了,意思和“可用时间少了”是一样的。 我也同意这种说法,我去朗文上查了一下estimate的用法,发现了一个例句: With estimates as high as $ 200 billion, this is a very important question. 从google上搜出的例句: The news on the lower estimate of the missing — which had been 20 to 30 — came as officials announced that a fifth body had been pulled from the wreckage. 看来estimate是用high/low来修饰的 所以我们还是阅读理解的问题。我虽然选对了,但是开始一直对原文理解不透,呵呵,谢谢snowjing的提醒 |
