求问although的用法，跪谢啊啊啊

yuanhaowen

Although people in France consume fatty foods at a rate comparable to the United States, their death rates from heart disease are far lower in France.
A.        people in France consume fatty foods at a rate comparable to the United States, their
B.        people in France and the United States consume fatty foods at about the same rate, the
C.        fatty foods are consumed by people in France at a comparable rate to the United States's, their
D.        the rate of fatty foods consumed in France and the United States is about the same, the  
E.        the rate of people consuming fatty foods is about the same in France and the United States, the

想请问一下although具体有哪些用法。需要句子的主语people和逻辑主语the death rates平行吗？如果这句话变成 the rates of consumption of fatty foods in France and the United States is about the same, the会不会更合理？

The official answer is B.

好吧 因为我想确认我的想法是正确的再给出建议 不然瞎指导了哈

关于although是否需要平行：完全不需要。

关于'the rates of ........, the....‘会不会更合理:不会

选择B很重要的一个原因在于：主动句〉被动句以及以名词形式来表示状态的句子结构

从句意上很简单就可以读出：选项B是最合理、容易理解的句子结构 people作主语来比较比直接比较rates好在更容易清晰表达句意 简洁且明确

可以理解一下 这个是所有SC的宗旨个人以为

Although是表示转折的连词，一般用在句首。我昨天看一道OG的题目发现他说Although最好是放在句首，因为放在句中的话会引进awkward的代词~Although后面要加完整的句子~还有这道题因为后面有代词their，所以句子的主语应该是人，而且后面的句意是把美国人和法国人的死亡率做对比，所以前面的主语应该是两个国家的人啦~希望对你有帮助哒

这里的the／their 我也纠结了很久。终于想明白啦。
Although people in France consume fatty foods at a rate comparable to the United States, their death rates from heart disease are far lower in France.
A people in France consume fatty foods at a rate comparable to the United States, their  
Comparable to前后不平行。 前方一个rate 后方一个国家， 杀
B people in France and the United States consume fatty foods at about the same rate, the  
正确
C fatty foods are consumed by people in France at a comparable rate to the United States's, their  
这道题主要是想表达人们在法国和人们在美国消耗同样数量的fatty food，但法国整体的心脏病发病率相比较美国整体的发病率低。their产生歧义的原因是，它把句意变成了“这一波人在法国时的发病率”与“这一波人在美国时的发病率”相互比较。这样就错了。
D the rate of fatty foods consumed in France and the United States is about the same, the  
Done 去除之后，改变了句意，错。
E the rate of people consuming fatty foods is about the same in France and the United States, the  
Doing 去除之后，改变了句意，错。

itssuperoli

de选项的详细解释是：介词＋名词＋doing／done形式出现的时候，想要验证它对不对，只需把done／doing结构去除，如果影响句意即是错的，不影响句意即是对的。
比如
I am afraid of the spiders sitting on the desk. 对
we laughed the because of tom walking into girls’ bathroom. 错
看doing 是修饰语还是核心想表达的内容。看doing 去了之后改变不改变句意。
如果是核心想表达的内容，不会用介词＋of＋doing ，而会用从句。
We laughed because tom walked into girls' bathroom.
我也是从一个老师那里学到的，琢磨透这道题之后就把解释upload上来，万一能帮助到别人也是好事一桩～～
