GWD7-4 百思不得其解

Q4:

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.

1. movies—less than those
   
2. movies—fewer than have been
   
3. movies, which is less than those
   
4. movies, a number lower than the people
   
5. movies, fewer than the ones

破折号是什么意思？

而且the man-eater 在这句话中怎么翻呢？

答案是什么啊?

1. movies—less than those  less than 错
   
2. movies—fewer than have been than 后缺主语与前面的比较对象对称
   
3. movies, which is less than those 同A,且which跟的句子修饰MOVIES,意思根本不通
   
4. movies, a number lower than the people  a number 怎么能跟 the people 比呢?当然不对
   
5. movies, fewer than the ones  seven people 跟the ones相比,非常对称

所以答案是E.

这个世纪，7个人被大白鲨（就是电影里的食人鲨）灭掉，这比被蜜蜂干掉的人少。

5. movies, fewer than the ones  seven people 跟the ones相比,非常对称

所以答案是E.

没见过the ones这样的指代。

不会指到movies么？

have been之前的主语省略了吧，因为是复数动词have，所以只能指代people，不能movies have been killed吧。

支持b。
