前人JerryGuan有总结:在比较主语的比较结构中,如果是主谓宾全的结构,则than后面的主语要补上助动词(do/does/can/could/have/had等),同时如果比较的主语相同但修饰成分不同,则后面的主语用that/those替代。的确,这个原则在大多数情况下通用,但我却从没发现that/those和助动词在一起的情况: 1、Because natural gas is composed mostly of methane, a simple hydrocarbon,vehicles powered by natural gas emit less of certain pollutants than those burning gasoline or diesel fuel. 2、The decisions of John Marshall, the fourth chief justice, have has a greater influence than those of any other chief justice in history. 这两句都是比较SVO结构中的S,而且S相同只是修饰成分不同,用those代替正确,但是既然是SVO结构,than后面的分句为何不加助动词?这两句都应在those前加助动词do才对,不然可能会误解成比较O了。各大NN们都有何高见,解释一下这个现象。 |
