还在对着GMAT语法难题不知如何是好?北京新东方GMAT教师周谢慧和王燚在此为大家带来详细的题目解析。
(OG2017-SC-669) In her presentation, the head of the Better Business Bureau emphasized that companies should think of the cost of conventions and other similar gatherings as not an expense, but as an investment in networking that will pay dividends.
A.as not an expense, but as
B.as not expense but
C.not an expense, rather
D.not as an expense, but as
E.not in terms of expense, but
本题考查平行结构、习惯用语和措辞表达。
读完本句,首先注意到think of A as B的习惯用语, 还有not A but B这个平行结构。
A选项,not后是名词,but后是as,不平行,类似还有E选项。排除A、E。
C选项中rather是副词,不具备平行的功能,所以在B和D中做选择。那么就必须了解expense的用法,expense作为不可数名词,指所花的钱,而作为可数名词的时候,表示造成花钱的事物,即开销。这句话的意思是,公司认为开会的成本不是一种开销,而是投资,所以不选B。
D选项中not as...but as...平行,意思也合理,所以正确答案选D。
