In December of 1987 an automobile manufacturer pleaded no contest to criminal charges of odometer tampering and agreed to pay more than $16 million in civil damages for （having test-driven cars with their odometers disconnected.）

b) having test-driven cars disconnected with their odometers.

key:a ?????????

Have sth done, with...是修饰test-driven car的， 因为disconnect 不需要 with。

qiufeng1990

不同意。
here is the expression "disconnect sth with sth" ????

tongxun

但在这里可不是的。句子用的是have sth done。

qiufeng1990

Both A and B are in the expression, "have sth done".

a) having test-driven cars with their odometers disconnected.
b) having test-driven cars disconnected with their odometers.
both are probably right!

tongxun

b 中的with从句的修饰没有a好吧。

According my dictionary, the idiom is "DISCOUNT FROM"

tongxun

其实，with短语应该直接紧跟它所修饰的词cars最好。
schwa995：咱们讨论的可是disconnect啊。不过，从你的帖子里又学到了一点东西。
