标题: 一道关于比较的题目
Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies—less than those killed by bee stings.
A. movies—less than those
B. movies—fewer than have been
C. movies, which is less than those
D. movies, a numberlower than the people
E. movies, fewer than the ones
正确答案是 B
我选的 E
比较疑惑不解fewer than (the people/those) have been killed by bee stings这里the people/those为什么可以省略?
因为seven people killed by the great white shark和 X people killed by bee stings人数是不一样的
如果 have been killed by great white shark和have been killed by bee stings平行,那两者的主语都是seven people,感觉语法上有问题啊

基于你说的这个指代的同样的 seven people的问题,来看一下B/E
Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies—less than those killed by bee stings.
A. movies—less than those
B. movies—fewer than have been
C. movies, which is less than those
D. movies, a numberlower than the people
E. movies, fewer than the ones
B/E的差别在哪?
* 破折号(dash)
根据manhattan SC 5th, 破折号可以跳跃修饰,尽管在这里加入了插入语 the man-eater of the movies,
恰恰是破折号,使得跳跃插入语,直接比较people killed by shark和 people killed by bee stings
基于这点,B is preferable;
*代词
B项没有补出,如果补出,我认为并不一定要是seven people, 可以直接用people/those,这样不存在你说的歧义,当然这么说可能有点牵强;
E 补出the ones, 那么the ones 是也是存在指代歧义的 seven people? people? movies?
再者,the one,使用了定冠词“the”,有特指的意思,指向补出部分与前面提到的seven people是完全一样的7个人,这7个人不可能又被鲨鱼咬,
又被蜜蜂蛰,完全distort meaning
基于这点,E的错误似乎更明显一点
*是否补出动词
其实我觉得补出动词恰恰是弥补了指代可能存在歧义的问题,
补出动词have been,明确将省略部分指向people, 不存在可能知道movies的歧义,因为movies无法填补到have been的前面
以上,觉得B更preferable
最近被SC折磨得好痛苦,越来越觉得没有放之四海皆准的rules, 要learn case by case吧,好选项是比出来的。
最后关于比较,最近看了一个很好的讲座,Manhattan Prep大神Ron 讲的,附上链接,楼主有空可以看下,共勉。

我不是很同意这位同学的说法,
比如,the ones用了the, 冠词,就表示是refer back to 前面的7 ppl。但是因为ones 后面kill by bee stings本身就是修饰部分,后置定语修饰ones, 当然ones 前面要加the.所以我不觉得这是排除的理由之一。。。
我看了PREP那一堆解释,都不是很有说服力啊,感觉是对着答案去强行套说法的,或者说如果用那些point来排除,会越来越糊涂。我觉得唯一能让我转过弯来的解释就是平行,因为前面 7 people have been killed by 后面最好也用句子的形式来修饰。。。。。

我觉得你的说法是对的,我现在回头来看这题,前面是用的have been,那后面也应该是个时态,因为比较的是前后两项事物在同一时间点的不同,所以时态应该一致,符合平行的要求。
谢谢指正。

我这几天一直在看PREP08 很多语法点都是不对的。。。。。有的太绝对了,看到很多可以反驳它的正确选项。。所以考试时候就是灵活得进行比较,选出最优的。

less than 杀AC
those 无指代,that和those只能指代被修饰名词的核心部分,在这里并没有被修饰名词,勿论被修饰名词的核心词;同理the ones也不符合,因为the ones就等于those。杀AE
D选项中数字与人对此错误
Ps:破折号含有表讽刺或者意外的作用,增加了AB的可能性。
More than(Fewer than)这种结构,应从平行入手。People have been killed by the great white shark与(people) have been killed by bee stinger结构平行,两者比较
