※ 引述《recary (recary)》之铭言： : 1.The basis of slang is metaphor (a word or phrase that means one thing is : used for ___ thing to suggest a likeness between two. : (A)the other (B)another : Ans: (B) : 【疑问】请问这里为什麽选another而不选the other呢？ 毕竟句子後面有写出two，所 : 以不是用one...the other的观念去解释吗？@@ one...the other是当只有限定两个时，一个怎样，而另一个怎样， MED2:He sat in front of the fire rubbing one bare foot against the other. 如果只是单单的the other或 one's other， 则是限定在一个群组里，剩余的另一部分怎样， MED2:Beethoven's Ninth is much longer than his other symphonies. 所以都有限定，不是限定两个，就是限定在某特定群组 而another则没有限定在某一群组中，本题的another thing， 没有特定在哪个范围中的，只要有相似性的都可以拿来当作比喻~ : 2.The growth of the world's population would ___ the growth of food : production. : (A)outnumber (B)outstrip : Ans: (B) : 【疑问】中文字典标示两者均有(数量上)胜过的意思，而英文解释分别为 : outnumber:be more in number : outstrip :be larger in quantity : 但是我还是不大懂两者的差别和这题为何只能选(B)outstrip ? : 恳请赐教 :) 看英英解释也不懂时，我会再去看例句，看能不能看出什麽端倪 outnumber: MED2:an area where sheep outnumber humans by twenty to one LDOCE5:Flats outnumber houses in this area. Men in prison vastly outnumber women. M-W's:Their wins outnumber their losses. outstrip: MED2:Demand for organic food was outstripping supply. LDOCE5:Demand for new aircraft production is outstripping supply. M-W's:Demand continues to outstrip [=exceed] supply. 从以上词典的例句可以发现，outnumber是用在来可以明确、具体数出来的， 例如绵羊数、人数、公寓的数量、房子的数量、输赢的次数 而outstrip比较用在抽象名词、集合名词， 例如需求、供给，和本题的成长等~ --
