求助考友们一个问题,纠结了好久的,关于白勇语法as或than引导比较从句中的省略原则----from 白勇语法: 1.比较从句谓语与主句谓语相同,可用do,did,does代替。 2. 比较从句的主语和谓语与主句的主语和谓语相同时,可以全部省去,常常保留做状语的介词短语或状语从句。
prep08上面有个讲解的例题,这个句子我感觉是主语谓语都是相同的,如果按照第2点的话,为什么只省略了than后面的few people,而不省略谓语did呢?
如果点1理解我感觉就说的通了,可是这样两点岂不是矛盾了么?
As a result of the continuingdecline in the birth rate,[fewer people] will enter the labor force [in the 1980’s] than (few people省略)did [in the 1960’sand 1970’s], a twenty-yearperiod during which people born after the war swelled the ranks of workers.
