It will be better if you could list two parts of the comparison. One part is: civilization, so the counterpart should be a noun, not a sentence.

同意chipmunk。

那么这题该怎么解释呢?

170. A large rise in the number of housing starts in the coming year should boost new construction dollars by several billion dollars, making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than five years ago.
(A) making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than five years ago
(B) and make the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than five years ago
(C) making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than it was five years ago
(D) to make the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than five years ago
(E) in making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than it as five years ago
ANSWER C

感觉如果改为
making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than it five years ago
好象不太顺口吧。
不知道为什么，为习惯，还是有别的原因？
请高手指点。

885-3-24, 如果加出was，应该更好吧。

170，making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than　five years ago　也对啊？？

比较中的省略不知哪位有总结的？有没有什么总的原则啊，在OG中？？？？

brunhild · 发表于 2003-11-1 01:18:00

OG 60可能参考一下

这个没懂，哪位能再看看。谢谢。

另一个问题，如果N1与N2 的时间一样古老，不行吗？为什么非要用N1比N2 古老？

如過要用 N1 and N2 一樣古老，那前面出現的 a thousand years 就很奇怪了
N1和N2一樣古老一千年 ....很奇怪吧
N1比N2古老一千年 ...這就是原意了

But我的問題不在這裡，而是在這個
more ancient than the city known to Homer's heros.
known to 在這裡是什麼意思 ?

謝謝

比较是很复杂，我做题的方法是先看比较的部分是主语，还是其他部分。一般主语比较要在than 之后补出谓语动词，这样不会造成歧义。

回到题中885 sec 3-24 比较的是宾语，如果补出was 但不知道was 是什么成分。

170 中虽然making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than five years ago 做伴随状语但比较的含义是 the contruction industry's economic health( is )much more robust than it was five years ago 所以比较的还是主语，要不出it was 再than 之后，才不会造成歧义。

以上是个人观点，没有得到牛牛们的认证，所以仅供参考。
