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
答案:C
本句为复合句,it是形式主语,真正的主语是动词不定式短语to spend … 。rather than是固定短语,意为“与其说……,不如说……”。其句意为:与其把钱花在让人康复上,倒不如将钱花在通过提升健康的生活来预防疾病上。
