2006年浙江英语高考卷单词拼写,第72题:
Bread is c______ in this shop; it costs twice as much across the street.
参考答案为:cheap 或 cheaper
疑惑:后半句中,为什么不是 it costs twice as much as the one across the stree? 是省略了吗?后半句的意思是“这家店的面包价格是街对面的面包店的两倍”吗?这样的话答案不应该是costlier吗?
Bread is cheap(er) in this shop; it costs twice as much across the street.
【翻译】这家店里的面包便宜,大街对面那家要贵一倍。
网友对问题的理解有偏差。
关键是对代词 it 的理解,在这里 it 指代 bread, 不是 this shop,因为cost 的主语只能是“商品”,不可能是“商店”。由于有了across the street 这个词组,前面的in that shop 被省略了。
我把句子重新写一下,你就明白了:
Bread is cheap(er) in this shop, but bread costs twice as much (in that shop) across the street.
