用that代替average price比较双方对应 使用or about $72修饰0.4%没有歧意

比较的是the price of ...和 that of ...，that指代前面的price。 or作为连接，表示$72就是0.4%。

it's not "decrease x from y"; there are no parallel structures "x" and "y". the basic sentence is just "the statistic has decreased". two statistically descripitive modifiers are added: • "from [original level]" • "(by) [amount/percentage of decrease]" The city's population has declined. The city's population has declined from its peak in 1970. The city's population has declined (by) 20 percent from its peak in 1970.

ON: "four-tenths of one percent" is $72. this sort of construction -- comma + "or" + noun -- is used when you have two equivalent formulations of something, and you are trying to introduce the fact that they are equivalent. for instance, let's say that somebody doesn't know what an empanada is, then i could write: Empanadas, or baked meat pies wrapped in a flaky pastry crust, are a staple of south american cuisine. 这是用or用来表示两个相同事物的特殊用法。

from用在这里表示 from ( its original price level)；A不对是因为比较对象不平行
ethansue 2016-08-05 08:05:17
选项A, 错误 1）as compared with/to 结构，比较对象为：company and cars，错误 2）amounting to 分词短语在句中做的是结果状语修饰前面句子的主语，意思成了价格变成了72美元，而应该是下降的相当于72美元； 选项B正确 t's not "decrease x from y"; there are no parallel structures "x" and "y". the basic sentence is just "the statistic has decreased". two statistically descripitive modifiers are added: • "from [original level]" • "(by) [amount/percentage of decrease]" The city's population has declined. The city's population has declined from its peak in 1970. The city's population has declined (by) 20 percent from its peak in 1970. 选项C，错误。GMAC 不认同THERE BE句型 选项D，错误。比较对象不一致

average price (of next year's models) would decrease four-tenths of one percent, amounting to about $72, as compared with comparably equipped cars and trucks this year. compare右边是cars and trucks而左边的models是price的从属结构，不能拎出来单独对比
