来看几道题。 What was as remarkable as the development of the compact disc has been the use of the new technology to revitalize, in better sound than was ever before possible, some of the classic recorded performances of the pre-LP era. 黄色部分的如果只是理解成省略,无论如何补出,始终非常别扭。 因为比较结构前后不平行,属于及其别扭的结构。a better sound than a sound was ever before? In one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, fought at Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17, 1862, four times as many Americans were killed as would later be killed on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day. 很明显是比较主语。但是如果在as之后补出主语,也很别扭。Four times as many Americans as Americans would later ?
再来看, 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 number lower than the people E. movies, fewer than the ones Answer: B 请问than之后省略了什么?
上述问题用省略来解释,补出后永远显得awkward. 但是如果用把than或者as理解成关系代词,似乎问题就能很好解释。 欢迎大家讨论。
