语意理解不到位
锋利的边缘和突出的表面此类的风格已经是过去式；相反，设计师采取有着平滑表面和曲线的风格，这种风格是更加人体工学的，（设计师）顺应了汽车的形状而非因自己主观喜好张扬flaunting（汽车的）外形。
由于ergonomic人体工学的和flaunt炫耀两个词不认识导致无法正确读懂语意。

RON: examine the split between 'more ergonomic' and just 'ergonomic'. in this case, we must preserve the meaning of the original statement: the new design is more ergonomic than the old design. if we change this to just 'ergonomic', we're attaching an implication that the old design simply wasn't ergonomic (and that the new design, by contrast, is) - an unacceptable implication. that gets rid of answer choices c, d, and e right there.

another item to examine is parallelism. in this case, in the construction 'X rather than Y' (or its analogues, 'X and not Y' and 'more X than Y'), items X and Y must be parallel.
choice a: conforming... rather than flaunting... <-- good parallelism!
choice b: to the body's shape and not to flaunting shape <-- logically nonparallel and also awkward
choice c: can't use 'more' together with 'and not to' (these are exclusive constructions, sort of like 'both' and 'as well as': if you use one, then you can't use the other), so we don't need to consider the parallelism in the first place.
choice d: can't use 'more' together with 'rather than'; also, bad parallelism between to the body's shape and shape flaunted...
choice e: more to the shape... than flaunting... <-- nonparallel

in fact, the winning choice (a) is the ONLY choice that properly compares 'conforming' and 'flaunting' in parallel. all of the other constructions also change the meaning of the sentence via their alterations of the words.

注意平行关系和句意，且主语是style

注意句意：符合体型而不是夸耀身体主语为designer

B. more ergonomic, conformed to the body's shape and not to flaunting shape变成了三者并列，错误

修改自己的解释，后半句做伴随状语，doing（conforming和flaunting）的发出者不可能是ergonomic， 而是人或物，designers。可以看出这里的伴随状语是在修饰主句的主干部分（adopted a cornerless style ）

A: 中more和rather than 是分开在两个句子中的，所以没关系，但是D就错了

记住，伴随确实就近修饰，但是应该是就近修饰主句

AE区分，首先要知道后半句是在修饰前半句的“人体工程学”
B: 三个并列，错误
C：同B
D: more rather than 无该用法
E: More than 对比不对称

choice a: conforming... rather than flaunting...

自己解题是觉得more后面不跟rather than跟than CD不要了
B的话是平行不对
E应该是跟原意不一样吧，因为没说comforming more ？ 或者说 more to than to？

choice b: to the body's shape and not to flaunting shape

choice a: conforming... rather than flaunting...

E，conforming more to the shape of the body than flaunting shape，比夸耀自己的形状更贴合身体的线条，意思是夸耀也夸耀了，只是没那么多
A，conforming to the shape of the body rather than flaunting shape，贴合身体线条而不是夸耀自己的形状，意思是没有夸耀。
A更优。

A，conforming to the shape of the body rather than flaunting shape，贴合身体线条而不是夸耀自己的形状，意思是没有夸耀。
A更优。

E里more做much的比较级，做副词，修饰conform。than是连词。这个结构里的比较对象是可以接受的。

错选d， conforming more to the shape of the body than flaunting shape不平行啊，按语法分析，conforming动词应该加在flaunting前面，但这样就不符合逻辑了

comforting 和 flaunting 并列 都是伴随状语修饰前定从

伴随状语修饰就近动作，conforming的逻辑主语是style还说得过去，flaunting的主语是style就不太好了吧。。。如果逻辑主语是designers就说得通了，不过就不是就近修饰了。。。

designers 采用更光滑的设计，更贴合the shape of body而不是炫耀shape。comforming 和 flanting的逻辑主语是designers！E选项不平行，conforming more to the shape than （to the ...
