In fact ,the only countries that actually have such laws are father from the equator than is the continental United States.
从only 和countires的搭配就开始不懂,后面的那个than是哪两个的比较也不懂.
我把成分搬来搬去硬凑成的下面的句子才稍微读懂了一点,the only countriy that actually has such laws and that nearer from equator than (other) countries (also)have such laws is continental United States 。这样的理解对不对?
