求助OG13.16, as adj. as gmat语法常见的省略问题

coconutmi

16. A surge in new home sales and a drop in weekly unemployment claims suggest that the economy might not be as weak as some analysts previously thought.

(A) claims suggest that the economy might not be as weak as some analysts previously thought

(B) claims suggests that the economy might not be so weak as some analysts have previously thought

(C) claims suggest that the economy might not be as weak as have been previously thought by some analysts

(D) claims, suggesting about the economy that it might not be so weak as previously thought by some analysts

(E) claims, suggesting the economy might not be as weak as previously thought to be by some analysts

对正确选项A只是一个不解。
economy might not be as weak as  some analysts preciously thought从句是对economy和analysts认为的经济情况比较，
故此句完整是：economy might not be as weak as what / the economy that some analysts preciously thought (was).

类似用法如下：
GWD5-Q14:
Even though more money was removed out of stock funds in July as in any month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as an industry trade group had previously estimated.
A. as in any month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as
B. as had been in any other month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as what
C. than there was in any other month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as that which
D. than in any month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as
E. than in any other month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as what

as adj. as 比较中，省略be很常见，但省略what/the economy就相当于缺乏主语，不知是否也是习惯的省略用法？

一碰到省略就陷进去。。。。 谢谢各位啦！

很受用！我觉得你的思路很赞，所以能不能在请教一下你独立主格的用法？如果你有时间的话麻烦简单说说。我 ...

独立主格，是一种修饰语，Manhattan P242管这个叫 Absolute phrases, 说它由noun+ noun modifier 组成，一般不必须挨着所修饰的内容，而是用来修饰整个主句。

比如:  His head held high, Owen walked out of the store.
独立主格就是 noun-his head      +     noun modifier-held high(过去分词+副词high)

我觉得就按句子结构从简到繁这个顺序考虑，比较好理解~

首先，句子至少要包括1套 主、谓结构 才完整(除了主语谓语以外，有的句子也需要接宾语。)

此外，句子还可包含修饰其主语/宾语(名词、代词为主)、谓语(一般为动词)或整个句子的修饰成分，这些成分可以是形容词、副词、不定式、分词、介词短语、从句等等，它们通常是被称为定语、壮语等等。请注意对于句子的逻辑关系，可以去掉所有修饰语，只看主谓结构。

一般来说，修饰成分的逻辑主语就是它修饰的对象，比如：
Teird from chasing mice,the cat took a nap.(Manhattan P83)  
这里teird from xxx 是一个过去分词，修饰句子主语the cat。 句子是说，cat 累了，睡了一觉。
注意这里只有一套主谓结构： 主语-cat, 谓语-took 宾语-a nap，  tired fromxxx 是修饰语。

但如果此时你想表达，老鼠累了，猫睡了。
最基本的表达就是2个独立的句子， The mice was tired. The cat took a sleep.
如果想表明这2个事情是并列关系，那么可+and 合成1句话， The mice was tired and the cat took a sleep.
如果想表明这2个事情是因果关系，那么可+so 合成1句话，  The mice was tired so the cat took a sleep.
注意，如果此时你最想表达的只是cat睡觉了，那mice累了就需要用修饰的方法表达(前面说过对于句子逻辑意思，修饰部分可以去掉的)。
而这时你不能说，Tired from being chased by cat, the cat took a sleep. 因为这样就是cat累而不是老鼠累了。
于是你可以写成，The mice tired from being chased by cat, the cat took a sleep. 对比原句，
                                       Teird from chasing mice,    the cat took a nap.
最大的不同除了意思上把猫累改写成老鼠累以外，就是前面的的修饰部分多了一个主语,修饰部分由过去分词变成了 noun+过去分词，这其实就是独立主格- 当修饰部分逻辑主语无法用被修饰部分清晰表达的时候，就在修饰部分前添加一个主语，成了一个不成句的"独立片断"。

所以做题时注意理解句子意思，不要把独立主格当成不完整的句子错把正确选项排除就好了。

省略规律掌握的不好 TAT。。。我总是搞不清，就是不熟悉这类题。。。。

省略确实太灵活了，我也还在总结：

as……as用于同级比较，第一个as是副词，第二个as是介词(后接名词或代词)或连词(后接句子)，其基本结构为:as+ adj./ adv. +as。根据英语承前省略的原则，对于比较结构中相同的部分，在不引起歧义的情况下可以省略，也就是说读者会默认省略部分与前句相同。

用最简单的情况举例(Manhattan例句)：
1.They are as hungry as you (are).
2.They are as hungry as you are.
3.They are as hungry as they were last night.
这里是比较They are hungry & You are hungry，既对2个人状态的比较。
看1&2句，因为都是一般现在, 所以可省系动词are；因为都是饥饿, 所以hungry更不能赘述。
而3句，一个是现在，一个是昨晚，所以不能省were (last night), 因为省这个标志词后读者无法判断they饥饿的时间。而按此原则，我估计3省略they应该也没问题。

当然，如果比较对象变了，那么省略的结构也不同了，比如：
She is as clever as (she is) beautiful。她既聪明又漂亮。
这里主语和系动词相同，表语不同，所以留表语，省主、系。


此外，如果句子是S V O结构，也是一样，只是比较词不局限于as……as, 还可以是 such……as 等等

举个SVO带壮语的例子：OG13.139

In no other historical sighting did Halley's Comet cause such a worldwide sensation as in its return of 1910-1911.

这句话有倒装和省略，先还原前句的倒装：
                                          H's Comet caused such a world wide sensation in no other historical .....
再看比较对象的完整结构：as H's Comet caused        a world wide sensation in its return of 1910-1911.
xxx的黑色部分和as前句子完全相同，可以省略，得到正确答案。这里其实是哈雷自己和自己比，只剩下壮语不同了，所以我觉得直接理解成状语比较也没啥问题~~~

我一般习惯按照句子结构入手分析，不知和你思路能不能碰上，你要是有具体题目咱再讨论，会方便些~
