居然有fewer of这种表达方式？求指教

Fewer表示种类上的‘少’

less表示量上的‘少’
fewer of语法上不能说绝对错。fewer=更少的；fewer of =其中更少的。
fewer of pollutants=更少种pollutants；less of pollutants = smaller amount of pollutants。所以164 E)中用fewer of 显然不行。
比较一下用法：
1） less water; fewer apples: 多少/数量的比较，可数用fewer，不可数用less
2） less pollutants; fewer pollutants: 前者指smaller amount of pollutants；后者指fewer types of pollutants
3） less of certain pollutants; fewer of certain pollutants: 与2）同。没有人说less certain pollutants或fewer certain pollutants，所以必须得有of。less = smaller amount (or a less degree of); fewer=fewer types。less of的这种用法其实字典（或语法辞典）里都没有特别的解释，可能是因为大家日常用多了形成的，所以只能记住。
