本题的关键在于comparison的对称性，句子的意思是要把trade imbalances和trade deficit做对比。BCD选项都是把trade imbalances和U.S.做对比，E是把trade imbalances和record exports做对比，都是不对称的。

进行对比的部分应该是：trade imbalances with China and Japan和trade deficit，BCDE 比较对象错误。
考点: 比较（Comparison）比较结构中比较双方概念要对等:在比较结构中,比如in contrast with, in contrast to, compared with, compare to等类似的结构,比较的双方必须概念对等.但要注意contrary to放在句首,后面必须 加上idea, belief等抽象名词修饰主句,不存在比较双方的问题. 例: Contrary to popular belief," victors in the ancient Greek Olympic Games received cash prizes in addition to their laurel wreaths.
(A) 正确, in contrast to比较的对象imbalances和trade deficit概念对等
(B) imbalances和United States概念不对等
(C) compared with的比较对象imbalances和United States概念不对等
(D) compared with的比较对象imbalances和United States概念不对等
(E) compared with的比较对象imbalances和United States record exports概念不对等,且后半句结 构笨拙复杂.句子结构: In contrast to…, the United States trade deficit… declined…
原文大致意思：和对中国和日本的贸易不平衡相比，美国对于墨西哥的贸易赤字下降了，这种下降是由于record exports。
题目分析：读完原文，我们发现是美国对中国日本的trade imbalances和美国对墨西哥的贸易赤字形成了对比，这个对比没有明显错误，我们先留着A。B是trade imbalance和美国这个国家比较了，杀。C犯的错误和B是类似的，杀 D也犯了类似错误，杀 E比较的东西变成了trade imbalance和record exports，这个对应显然语义也不对，杀。
笔记 imbalances和deficit比较，别的都不对
in contrast to/compare with 结构，形成平行
1、trade imbalance不能和 US（国家）平行，杀BCD
2、E改变了原句意思，且对仗远不如A工整
trade imbalances和trade deficit并列
对比 前后平行
比较对象的平行
还是得找到比较的事物才行啊，理解句意
这几个开头短语，都是要和主句主语做比较的，所以只有a是对的，贸易失衡，和贸易逆差比较。

Right: IN COMPARISON WITH (or TO) horses, zebras are vicious. A zebra can be COMPARED TO a horse in many ways. COMPARED WITH a horse, however, a zebra is very hard to tame.
Wrong: WHEN COMPARED TO horses, zebras are vicious.
deficit赤字
比较对象
record adj 创纪录的
比较题，重点在于比较的对象是什么，前面不管表现形式，说的都是“与中日之间持续的贸易失衡相比”，比较的是贸易失衡，后面只有只有A用the United States trade deficit 做主语。 trade对trade
【比较题】
注意：ongoing在这里做adj，表示继续的，正在进行的
考点是比较中的前后平行，前面是“ongoing trade imbalance”，后面能和它平行的只有a中”trade deficit“
这题得注意trade deficit 名词属性，平行就好了
