关于一道og题

As Hurricane Hugo approached the Atlantic coast, it increased dramatically in strength, becoming the tenth most intense hurricane to hit the United States mainland in the twentieth century and most intense since Camille in 1969.

A    most intense since Camille in 1969

B    most intense after Camille in 1969

C    the most intense since Camille in 1969

D    the most intense after 1969, which had Camille

E    since 1969 and Camille, the most intense

I can understand C is correct. However in the og explaination, it says that "While in some constructions, such as the most frightening and most intense, the would be understood and so would not need to be repeated, the definite article the is required in this superlative form construction."

Can Someone clarify that under what condition, the can be omitted?

Thanks a lot

the tenth most intense and most intense 会被误认为第二个most intense也是tenth, 即 the tenth most intense and (the tenth) most intense. 故要补个the.

While in some constructions, such as
                    the most frightening and most intense
, the would be understood and so would not need to be repeated, the definite article the is required in this superlative form construction

我感觉只有当明确的表示最高级且没有任何修饰的情况下,the才可以被省略

上面这个结构似乎还可以简化成the most frightening and intense,

但是如果fightening的修饰对象不是一个人或物,或者修饰的程度不一样,或者范围不一样时the不能省略。比如这题里的排名第十的most和排名第一的intense的话,就需要使用两个独立的最高级。

以下是引用gonghao在2006-6-26 10:37:00的发言:

上面这个结构似乎还可以简化成the most frightening and intense,

个人认为这样有歧义. 即可表示最frightening and 最intense, 也可表示最frightening and 一般intense.

欢迎指正.

shanghai is the most beautiful and attractive city in china.

jandjshi的意思是“上海是最漂亮和一般吸引人的城市”?

我是认为“上海是最漂亮和最吸引人的城市”
