再问，句子省略问题。。。求解 曼哈顿的一道题。

mambabryant

some critics ofthe Olympian Party candidate zeus pater are pleased that he has chosen ArtemisRhodes, the perfect of Alexandria,to be his running mate; as many commentatorshave pointed out, he views on social issues are more in line with the OlympianParty platform then are Pater`s.
问，上面的are不是应该可以删除么，为何需要？不明白，望高人指点。。。。

只是想给个建议，LZ不妨研究一下Manhattan 关于对比的部分。

这个和og13 Q22实际上是一样的，可以看看og上的解释~

2)有了are后全句就是：her views on social issues are more in line with the Olympian Party platform than are Pater`s (views on social issues in line with the Olympian Party platform).


如果没有are的话会导致另一种意思：her views on social issues are more in line with the Olympian Party platform than (in line with) Pater`s views on social issues.

就是因为没有are了后。。。会让人觉得可能是1)或者2)。。有了are后就只会是2)

恕小弟愚钝，
2)补足后，是 he views on social issues are more in line with the Olympian Party platform than her views on social issues (are) more in line with Pater`s (views on social issues)?

he views on social issues are more in line with the Olympian Party platform than are Pater`s。
如果把are去掉的话...原来的比较会有歧义：
1) he views on social issues are more in line with the Olympian Party platform than (in line with) Pater`s.
2) he views on social issues are more in line with the Olympian Party platform than (are) Pater`s (views on social issues).

首先道歉，he views应该是her views，打错了，这样一来楼上的1应该可以成立了吧，另外2的话，那个are还是看不懂，是和前面的are平行么？
