262. But a look at the strange variations in tuition reveals that the choice about which college to attend doesn't come down merely to dollars and cents.
译文 但这些变化迥异的学费表明,选择上哪所大学,归根结底并不仅仅是钱的问题。
点睛 本句的主干是a look...reveals that...。其中,that引导的宾语从句that the choice...dollars and cents作reveal的宾语。介宾结构about which college to attend作定语,修饰the choice。
dollars and cents本义指“美元和美分”,在此引申为“金钱;纯经济”。短语come down to在句中意为“归结起来,说到底”,此外还有“屈尊做某事,沦落为”之意。如:
The jobless had come down to begging. 这个失业者已经沦为乞丐。
