OG 253, 请教比较句

253. Analysts blamed May's sluggish retail sales on unexciting merchandise as well as the weather, colder and wetter than was usual in some regions. which slowed sales of barbecue grills and lawn furniture.
(A)    colder and wetter than was usual in some regions, which slowed
(B)    which was colder and wetter than usual in some regions, slowing
OG的解释:In A, the insertion of was is unnecessary.

原本没什么疑问的, 但忽然记起几天前的讨论比较类题目的帖子。 记得7986 MM对以下题目的讲解:
A grasshopper is larger than  [face=黑体] is normal [/face]  for a member of the insect class; Its abodomen can beup to 2 inches in the length, as opposed to the one inch long abodomen of the average insect.
“is normal 更合适些。 ... than, as都可以看做代词作主语用,保留谓语。
1. Do not eat more than is good for you
2. It may be more important than would seem                  ...”

觉得7986 MM讲的没错。但不知道这两种情况有什么区别?"was colder and wetter than usual in some regions" VS " is larger than  is normal for a member of the insect class"。   usual后的IN和FOR造成的不同?请明白人帮我解释一下。 谢谢了。

up...

我的疑问是253题中的than usual和A grasshopper is larger than   is normal   for a member of the insect class; Its abodomen can beup to 2 inches in the length, as opposed to the one inch long abodomen of the average insect.中的 than is normal有什么结构不同之处?后者那题能用than normal吗?

谢谢.

A grasshopper is larger than   is normal   for a member of the insect class; Its abodomen can beup to 2 inches in the length, as opposed to the one inch long abodomen of the average insect.
“is normal 更合适些。 ... than, as都可以看做代词作主语用,保留谓语。

Why in this question choose "usual" instead of "was normal"? I am confused. What's the difference?

顶一下!!

我也想知道这是为啥,是习惯表达还是有啥语法内容在里面呢?谁能指点一下啊?

我的理解: 原文weather, colder and wetter...中没有出现BE, 所以than后面也用不着. than is normal 那句原文有be在前面出现.

An example from Longman.

It is taking longer than usual for orders to reach our customers.

Regarding,

A grasshopper is larger than   is normal   for a member of the insect class.

That leads to a tentative conclusion that the 'is' in sentence above is unnecessary but not a corrective error.

以下是引用joe11在2005-1-20 1:09:00的发言:

A grasshopper is larger than  
                    is normal
  for a member of the insect class.
