GWD5-Q4:

Only sevenpeople this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater ofthe 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




为什么E不对？ B可以这么省略么？




谢谢！

the man-eater ofthe movies  我认为这个是the white shark的同位语  但是为什么正确答案的后面是带的破折号呢?

同位语应该是前后都带逗号的啊

如果是E的话，那fewer一定修饰的是people吗？不一定吧…… 也可能是movies呀，movies也是countable的呢 破折号是起到解释说明的作用，这句话是说，被鲨鱼杀掉的人只有7个，比被某蜜蜂杀掉的人少，比的就是数量，如果是比较people和the ones的话，本质上不就成了人和人比？那有什么好比较的呢？
个人意见，仅供参考……

软糖同学，如果是B，那个破折号怎么解？谢谢。
另外，我没弄明白，为什么是seven和the ones比，而不是people和the ones比，这里people显然是countable，因为前面也用了数字，后面用fewer，我觉得E没什么问题，NN赐教

一直觉得是movies—fewer than (thosewho)  have been……

E不对是因为我们在拿一个数字 7 跟 ones (指带人）做比较。。。

B可以理解为：　movies—fewer than (the number of people who)  have been

number不是应该用smaller么 用fewer的话……总觉得怪怪的

good call!!

那我那句话要改改了。。。fewer是countable吧， 那people在这里应该是countable 那就不应该用less了？

但是破折号是什么意思呢?

插入语的话应该前后都带逗号啊!
