Question

It is __________ to spend money on preventing illnesses by promoting healthy living rather than spending on trying to make people ___________ after they are ill.

A．good … good

B．well … better

C．better … better

D．better … good

Answer 1

C

本句為復(fù)合句，it是形式主語(yǔ)，真正的主語(yǔ)是動(dòng)詞不定式短語(yǔ)to spend … 。rather than是固定短語(yǔ)，意為“與其說(shuō)……，不如說(shuō)……”。其句意為：與其把錢(qián)花在讓人康復(fù)上，倒不如將錢(qián)花在通過(guò)提升健康的生活來(lái)預(yù)防疾病上。
