Heating-oil prices are expected to be higher this year than last because refiners are paying about $5 a barrel more for crude oil than they werelast year.原句是对的 我自己觉得吧,这题里面既然this year放在了than的前面就表明要比较的是this year 和last year。所以这是对的
除非题目是把this year 放在了heating-oil prices的前面——this year the heating-oil are expected to be higher than...那么后面用last year 就不对而要用 last year's 我不知道我的理解对吗~~请指教~~~
今天CD咋回事,总是回复不了,之前打的那么多都没有了。。。懒得再打了,就简而言之吧,LZ这样改是有问题的,有一个类似的句子,LZ自己捉摸捉摸:In Japan elderly peolple are treated better than they are in most of Western countries. (注意状语一旦提到句首就不再有定语作用) 另外last year是无生命的,用’s不好,改成下面这样是可以的: Heating-oil prices of this year are expected to be higher than those of last year。但其实语义上还是很奇怪的,因为prices都是指heating-oil的,用年份作为分类很不好,这也是为什么原句比较的是时间~
