gwd 7-4
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
答案是E,我不太明白，ones指代前面的people,可是我记得在语法书里讲道，前面没有出现one,后面好像就不能用ones来指代，对于这种比较很不确定，前面是people是集合名词，可以用those 代替吗？看来看去觉得D 好些，有谁能把每个选项的错误讲一下？多谢了！

选E的理由
vanessav:
A is not the nest answer.
A lot of writings in AP news or Nytimes news suggest that using of "ones" is frequently used by native writers.
Examples:
"A lot of the courses, like Pinehurst, the ones that are essentially all green, you have to really, really search for that perfect lighting," she continued. "Otherwise the painting would just be incredibly boring."--from today's nytimes;
But when highly respected legal experts on civil liberties, including ones favoring same-sex marriage, raise the same possibility, their concerns cannot be dismissed as partisan debating points.
--------also from today's nytimes.
exan:
4.我觉得E对
先把插入语"the man-eater of the movies"去掉,
B) Only seven people have been killed by the shark--fewer than (people) have been killed by bee stings.
E) Only seven people have been killed by the shark, fewer than the ones killed by bee stings.
B比较的双方是两个claim，所以比较的方面只能是状语（副词）的比较，比如说more likely, more severe；而且people的省略更容易理解为是同一组人。
E比较的主题是名词，比较的方面只能是表语（形容词）的比较，比如说fewer, less。
选项的logical是首要因素，所以B不好。
the ones指代people有什么不好的呢？！
findjuhl:
这道题很阴险阿，ETS设置了很多陷阱，首先B的破折号会让人有比较插入语成分的歧义，所以不能选B
其次，答案E之所以用The ones而不是those，因为those会有歧义指代插入语的movies，只有the ones才能指代前面的复数人
madben:
以下是引用vanessawhy在2006-7-11 2:07:00的发言：
这是一种比较词than或者 as之后出现主语省略的情况
1. 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.
(A) Americans were killed as
(B) Americans were killed than
(C) Americans were killed than those who
(D) more Americans were killed as there（A)
(E) more Americans were killed as those who
这是OG里的一道题目
答案是A 在as 和would later be killed之间省略了 americans
这么说，shark的那一题正确答案还是应该是B， 首先fewer的用法是对的，虽然说less在MW字典里可以这样用，可是它也说了这是新近的用法，不代表出题的就接受。很多语法书的语法点gmat也是不接受的。
其次，have been与前面的时态是呼应的。
OG上的这道题目被引用了好几次，但我认为OG上的题目和GWD这道题目有一个非常大的区别，那就是OG里被省略的成分是“Americans"，在主句是泛指。如果将之补全，就是
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 Americans
would later be killed on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day.
但GWD里这道题主句的主语是Seven people，如果将B省略的主语补全，则变成了
Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies—fewer than seven people
have been killed by bee stings
怎么说也是不合乎逻辑的。另外B中破折号的用法我认为也很有问题，B中破折号变成了强调修饰的对象是movies
我个人觉得正确答案还应该是E. Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies, fewer than the ones killed by bee stings.
其实完全可以将E稍微改写一下以帮助理解：
Only seven people , fewer than the ones killed by bee stings, this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies.
选A的理由
hawkinsxie:
我选A。
1）破折号表示后面的是同位语，类似于用一个新名词
2）B不好，因为没有比较对象, fewer不如less好，当表示多少的时候的比较级
3）E不好，用一个adj.作dangling modifier却不能修饰主句主语
fannyyudan:
我也选A，可数名次在可以用less来表示数量上的区别，而且这里也不存在B的缺少those的情况，或者E中用the ones歧义的情况

选B的理由
miaoyin_tx：
4题我觉得A 和C都用less修饰people， C里面的which指代不明确。我对E不太明确，只是觉得用ones很别扭。D，a number 不能和people比较。 感觉B好些，用fewer修饰people，而且than后面的have been和前面的have been 比较对称， 但是than后面指教跟have been。。好象也不是很完美。咬咬牙选B罢。 大家的意见呢？
upychhill：
感觉像应该是B，than起到代词的作用。我发现一般than+谓语或as...as+谓语的选项都是对的。如果是替代，ETS一般不用the ones而是用those。
robertchu：
破折号的用法: "Use a dash to set off anabrupt break or interruption and to announce a long appositive orsummary" (from "The Elements of Style".
Q4 I also choose B. Any commnets, NNs?
小鱼儿:
第四题E选项才会产生歧义： fewer than the ones紧跟的是movies，但实际上应该指的是people。选B
LES:
D. number 与 people 比较肯定错！
破折号，在这里相当于冒号，表示解释。
B 的意思没有错啊，被蜜蜂刺死的人比被鲨鱼咬死的多。
dashasha:
在那篇absolute phrases 里找到了一个关于破折号的依据：Since absolute phrases are optional in the sentence, they are often set off from the sentence with commas or, less often, with dashes.
dreadpower :
我觉得E不对的一个原因在于，fewer than后面核心就是一个名词the ones
但是fewer than前面是一个句子
B成立的原因在于，其实B比较的是句子，fewer than后省略people
tulipmontreal:
National Geographic documentaries and movies such as "Jaws"
have fed people's fears of shark attacks for decades...fears
of the Great White Shark.
Such fears, however, are largely unfounded. According to
Nature Publishing Group, "Only seven people this century have
been killed by the Great White Shark, the man-eater of the
movies -- fewer than the number killed by bee stings."
B非常正确!
juan:
记得OG中曾经提到more 修饰people,greater修饰number,不能用more 修饰number,因此我觉得fewer也是不能修饰number的，fewer只能和more一样修饰people. 见OG251的解释。所以我觉得tulipmontreal 引用的national gergraphic的例子用GMAT的语法来考查的话，fewer than the number是不对的。
这题我还是觉得选B。fewer than 后省略了people.而且B中的完成时也和前面的对称。
请指正。
mbz:
B is the answer. To the friend on the 16th floor, the two questions are quite different, and hence can't be compared
future2005:
答案应该是B.
E的错误有2个:
1. 时态不一致
2.one错. GMAT Verbal Workbook(KAPLAN):
Never use one or one's to refer to any antecedent except one.
huhhuh:
from Merriam-Webster's Dic
fewer
Function:pronoun, plural in construction
a smaller number of persons or things
fewer 不仅可以做形容词，可以作代词，这样就不存在省掉people对不对得问题了。fewer在这里就是指代people的。我觉得B没问题
laipiyu:
E的问题在于the定冠词,难道大家都忘了the定冠词的用法了吗?"特指"啊!!
有了这个the,那么the ones就是特指前面出现过的同一物体.比如这里指people,那么就是特指the people,也就是被great white shark所杀的这seven people.因为不可能还同时被bee stings所杀,所以E是不对的.
ones并不是非要指代人,这个概念不能继续被误导了.
fewer做后置修饰啊.
aeoluseros:
In my opinion E is incorrect because it makes a comparsion between number (7 people) and people.
If you substitute choice E, this is how it would look:
Only seven people this century have been killed by the great
white
shark, the man-eater of the movies, fewer than the ones killed by bee stings.
nowait:
support B.
from google, one example is found:
"In two years, a total of 348 people have died in seven countries in attacks that could be loosely linked with al-Qaeda or its many affiliates and emulators--far fewer thatn have been killed by bolts of lightning in the same period."
The sentence above resembles our question much!
逢冰:
movies—less than those
movies—fewer than have been
movies, which is less than those
movies, a number lower than the people
movies, fewer than the ones
语法点：
1、 比较（Comparison）：fewer than 比…少，用于可数名词（few的比较级）； less than 比…少，用于不可数名词（little的比较级）；
2、agreement。B中which 通常紧跟其指代的n,D中the ones 指代模糊，而且the的用法奇怪
我觉得因为B中have been 非常公整的对照了第一句，故而很清楚省略了people.所以我选B. |
