曼哈顿SC第九章里面有关AVERAGE

deplyclytze

各位大神，请问
Tech companies are as likely as the average company to fail.
Tech companies are as likely as the industry average to fail.
这里的average是表示普通的意思吧
书里面说第一句是对的，第二句是错的。这里应该是把Tech company和the average company来对比吧
书里面的这一组对比有什么意义么，第二句是错在average的位置么？

我个人觉得问题在于
company可以和company比较
但是company不可以和average比较
average做名词是平均水平/平均值的意思
