这里B是不行的,wild animals have less total fat than livestock 实际上是拿fat和livestock比较,也就是说wild animals have less total fat than (wild animals have) livestock .

谢谢!
这个帖子总结的很好,我以前也拜读过。但是,不能绝对,我记不清了,在大全的某个题中,看到过类似B中的省略。
正因为以前看过你上面的帖子,所以,我也想选C。可是,当我想将C中than后面的因素补全时,却陷入了迷茫。如果让我补全,我觉得C的错误不是所谓的可能的歧义,而是根本性的逻辑错误。
不知道MM如何补足THAN后省略的成分?请赐教。
TO howardwang
可不可以说明一下你觉得that后省略了什么?有什么歧义?或是有什么逻辑错误?
我看半天没看出来~
OG19题说了像B中这种省略是不行的,所以我一直都不敢选B。
TO 爱无伤
我觉得,than在此应该是连词,也就是说,than后面是个完整的句子(通常可以省略许多成分)。如果确实如此,我们应该可以将than后省略的成分补充出来。
而我不知道答案Cwild animals have less total fat than that of livestock fed on grain and have more fat of a kind thought to be 中的that of livestock fed on grain 在补充出的句子中是主语还是宾语,如果是宾语,那句子的主语和谓语应该是什么?
请指点!
刚刚找到一位前辈关于THAN的用法的解释,希望有所帮助。
than
conj.
prep.
Usage Note: Since the 18th century grammarians have insisted that than should be regarded as a conjunction in all its uses, so that a sentence such as Bill is taller than Tom should be construed as an elliptical version of the sentence Bill is taller than Tom is. According to this view, the case of a pronoun following than is determined by whether the pronoun serves as the subject or object of the verb that is “understood.” Thus, the standard rule requires Pat is taller than I (not me) on the assumption that this sentence is elliptical for Pat is taller than I am but allows The news surprised Pat more than me, since this sentence is taken as elliptical for The news surprised Pat more than it surprised me. However, than is quite commonly treated as a preposition when followed by an isolated noun phrase, and as such occurs with a pronoun in the objective case: John is taller than me. Though this usage is still widely regarded as incorrect, it is predominant in speech and has reputable literary precedent, appearing in the writing of such respected authors as Shakespeare, Johnson, Swift, Scott, and Faulkner. It is also consistent with the fact that than is clearly treated as a preposition in the than whom construction, as in a poet than whom (not than who) no one has a dearer place in the hearts of his countrymen. Still, the writer who risks a sentence like Mary is taller than him in formal writing must be prepared to defend the usage against objections of critics who are unlikely to be dissuaded from the conviction that the usage is incorrect. ·Comparatives using as... as can be analyzed as parallel to those using than. Traditional grammarians insist that I am not as tall as he is the only correct form; in formal writing, one should adhere to this rule. However, one can cite both literary precedent and syntactic arguments in favor of analyzing the second as as a preposition (which would allow constructions such as I am not as tall as him).
我觉得是省略了is--wild animals have less total fat than that of livestock fed on grain (is) and have more fat of a kind thought to be
我觉得这个题的比较方式和大全777很像:
1. The man was always aware, sometimes proudly and sometimes resentfully, that he was a small-town Midwesterner who was thrust into a world that was dominated by wealthier, better-educated, and more polished people than him.
(A) who was thrust into a world that was dominated by wealthier, better-educated, and more polished people than him
(B) who had been thrust into a world that was dominated by more wealthy, educated, and polished people than him
(C) who had been thrust into a world dominated by wealthier, better-educated, and people more polished than he was
(D) thrust into a world dominated by more wealthy, educated, and polished people than him(E)
(E) thrust into a world dominated by wealthier, better-educated, and more polished people than he
答案E的be后据NN们讨论是省略了was,那么
wealthier, better-educated, and more polished people than he was
less total fat than that of livestock fed on grain (is)
是不是很像?
B省略会造成歧义,所以B省略了就是不对的。
欢迎欢迎,不过就要辛苦逵逵了~

首先,谢谢爱无伤!
大全我还有许多没做,但是就本题而言,如果e是答案,那么he是主格,应该是主语。如果省略了谓语,为什么不补足呢?不补足不会引起歧义吗?
整个句子不足应该是:
a world was dominated by wealthier, better-educated, and more polished people than he dominated the world. 或者类似的被动语态 a world was dominated by he.
that of livestock fed on grain (is) 后面的表语是什么?
还是没明白?继续讨论?
如果一定要补全的话我觉得应该是这样的:
he was wealthy, educated and polished.
that of livestock fed on grain is little
表语都是与比较级对应的。比较型状语从句一般来说都会这样,省略的部分与比较级对应。

据我不成熟的理解,连词连接的是两个对等的成分,在句子中如果想补足其省略的成分,应该都可以成为一个完整的句子(比如and)。
而句子中若省略成分,通常省略的是结构相同的成分。比如连词连接的两个句子或短语,其所在句子的主语和谓语相同(且不产生歧义),则可以将相同的部分省略。
可是,我还是不明白,你上面的省略原则是什么?将你省略的句子放回原文如何理解?
另外,关于那个关于比较的总结,总结这好像也说有例外(gwd我一点还没做)。而且,一位版主大人有如下的说法:
几天发现一个反例:
OG 46中标准答案没有补出谓语动词, 但句子却是完整的SVO形式.
但这个总结还是很不错的. 提醒大家注意对于effectiveness的问题, 不要太执拗.
说实话我觉得比较型状语从句本来就是一个很难搞得特别清楚的东西,我看那本<张道真实用语法>觉得他在这个知识点上也说的很浅显,举了几个例子,就说特殊便一笔带过了。
我也是根据他的例子,自己揣测了一下而已,所以对这一块也不是很清楚。
但是不管怎么说,语法是为理解服务的,我们不应该被语法的条条框住。
就句子感觉和对ETS偏好把握来看,我个人觉得C是最好的。当然,这只是我个人的意见。
而且说到句子补足,我觉得我真的只能补到这样。说个简单的例子:
I am taller than he is.
这个句子从句部分怎么补足?这是个状语从句,我觉得拆开是这样的:He is tall. I am taller.说成一句就是:I am taller than he is. 表语不能再补了。
同样这个题,比较的是fat of livestock fed on grain 和fat (of wild animals),拆开是这样
fat of livestock fed on grain is little. Wild animals have less fat.
真的连词连接的一定是两个对等的成分吗?我觉得不一定,OG19是一个很好的例子。而且这样的例子在GMAT考试中出现的不少。
先谢谢爱无伤mm的解释。
可能确实是我理解有些偏差。对og19,我至今没能很好的理解,真的。
若还有新的体会,再论!
如果仔细看看og19,也许,答案c正确的可能性又增大了些。og19与此题非常相似。
但是,我还是认为,than后可以补足结构相似的相应的成分(在同一个简单句中),还是对的。例如:
OG19
请大家分析以下比较在ETS看的含义
Rice has protein of higher quality than wheta does.(主语比较,Rice 与wheat比)
意义:米有高质蛋白质,麦没有。
Rice has protein of higher quality than of lower quality(介宾比较,of higher 与 of lower比)
意义:米有高质蛋白质而非低质蛋白质
Rice has protein of higher quality than that in wheat(宾语比较,protein 与protein(that指代)比
Rice has protein of higher quality than sugur.(宾语比较,protein 与sugar比)
意义:米中的蛋白质比麦中蛋白质质量高
意义:米中的高质蛋白质比糖多。
Rice has protein of higher quality than usual/everbfore/1000 years ago/people expected(状语比较)
意义:米比通常/经往/多年前/人们预测/的蛋白质质量要高。
中,每一句子都可以补充相应的成分。你举的例子也不例外。I am taller than he( is tall)我觉得没错。
再举个汉语中关于连词的简单句,我和你其实都是高手,则必然可以说,我其实是高手,你其实是高手。
唯一有点特殊的是og19的正确答案
Rice has protein of higher quality than that in wheat其than后若补足则为wheat has that of high quality( in wheat)。in wheat有点多余。我想原正确答案that in wheat也许是为了简洁表达我补足这个句子的一个小的、少见的变换吧。og19解释不也说,wheat does也对的吗?
anyway,有og19作证,应该说mm的总体观点更正确。我可能理解上有点僵化。
再一次感谢爱无伤!!
