我preferB bc决战点在於後面amount 跟 as many as many 可 说数目上和原本数字相同的事物(可数) 如（ 1 ） Seven topics were discussed at as many （ = seven ） meetings （ 七 个会 议 讨 论 了 七 个 题 目 ） 。 （ 2 ） They beat us in three football games, but on as many （ = three ） occasions they were thrashed by our team （ 他 们 和我 们 踢 足 球 ， 胜 了 三 次) 可知这里as many 是指前面4000 所以这里one-quarter as many 应该是可行( 如twice as many ) 至於amount(不可数)定义为amount is used to refer to quantity that cannot be counted (an enormous amount) 虽说amount用法语文学上有例外 如金钱等 不过这里并不适用 故不考虑 有趣的是在国外gmat论坛也有人在讨论这题 当时有人指出这题gmat prep是给B 答案至於解释他并未提及 there are fewer than one-quarter as many (as 4000 可省略)是我对原句想法 anyway 也请大家相互讨论一下 ※ 引述《denizee3 (妮)》之铭言： : When drive-ins were at the height of their popularity in the late 1950’s, : some 4,000 existed in the United States, but today <there are less than : one-quarter that many.> : A. there are less than one-quarter that many : B. there are fewer than one-quarter as many : C. there are fewer than one-quarter of that amount : D. the number is less than one-quarter the amount : E. it is less than one-quarter of that amount : Answer: 有人说B, GWD给C : 刚刚爬文..对於这题的答案好像位於B和C : 想请问各位大大这题答案到底是B还是C阿? : 还有要怎麽解呢? : 谢谢! --
