看懂了，有收获，谢谢lz

逆水潜龙

我觉得状语比较省略那里总结得有点瑕疵哈·或许大牛总结时GMAT远没有现在变态。。。自己YY。。。
我认为（仅是我做题的感觉）
1.只有在前面主谓宾状than主谓宾状的结构中，主谓才可省略。即than前后均符合严格的主谓宾状结构。OG12 93
2.如果主句没状语，than后状语前“最好”补出（不敢说一定对，但补出正确率较大）OG12 41
3.但than后是people previously thought，people expected 之类的不补出正确率90%。OG12 13
其实特别是第二点如OG的例子我见得很多，我还想多罗嗦句，现在GMAT巨变态，前辈们的总结可能相对于现在已经有一些不适用了。语法始终逻辑意义至上，以前也喜欢总结所谓的必对规律，但到现在快考了才发现，根本没有。什么逗号加and后要是完整句子（OG12 36就不是）之类的，别去记别去麻木相信。说那么多只想后人少走弯路，别像哥我到考试才发觉ROI巨低。。

赞，顶一下！

真的很谢谢cwang的整理! 真的很清楚。
但有一个整理规则以外的题目，此题是than当关系代词，且than前面省略temple。
不晓得各位怎么解读和归纳？


Form24-15 (考古p.53#15)


The Parthenon is larger than usual for a Doric temple, with eight columns on the short sides and seventeen on the long ones rather than the typical six and thirteen.
A) usual
B) is usual
C) has been usual
D) one usually is
E) it is usual


答案是 (B)

I believe B to be right here
I'm not sure what the exact rule here is but I'll try to back it up with examples.
Ex: A mercedes is more expensive than usual for a car --> wrong
A mercedes is more expensive than is usual for a car --> sounds better

Warren Buffet is richer than usual for a human being --> wrong
Warren Buffet is richer than is usual for a human being --> sounds better

I believe the difference between the 2 is that the former is equivalent to normal and you usually intends "compared to the subject's self"
Ex: He is nicer than usual --> ok

The latter "is usual" is used to compare the subject, being part of a subgroup, to the overall group as shown in my examples.

re这个，正解

http://www.manhattangmat.com/forums/the-parthenon-is-larger-than-usual-for-a-doric-temple-t1019.html
When something is compared to a subgroup to which it belongs, 'is usual' should be used. When something is compared to itself, 'usual' is fine.

这是经典老贴了啊~可我斗胆问下，cwang给的以下几个例句是不是错了，或者我错了？.......呼唤讨论~

Rice has protein of higher quality than of lower quality(介宾比较，of higher 与 of lower比）
意义：米有高质蛋白质而非低质蛋白质


我觉得这句话没有任何比较啊.......相当于"Rice has protein of X than of Y. "
这个"than"没有比较任何东西.
如果照这个中文翻译“米有高质蛋白质而非低质蛋白质”，应该是rather than才对啊：
Rice has protein of higher quality rather than of lower quality.
——还有，我觉得这句话似乎GMAT也不喜欢吧。Manhattan SC 说 (on page 130) "Do not use a comparative adjective unless you have a than in the sentence." 就说这个句子higher和lower没有确切的比较对象，也没有定义。


Rice has protein of higher quality than sugar.（宾语比较，protein 与sugar比）
意义：米中的蛋白质比麦中蛋白质质量高
意义：米中的高质蛋白质比糖多。


这句子的问题也有同学提出过....
我这么想的，
The comparative adj. is higher
Things compared are
A = the quality of protein in rice
B = sugar?
quality和sugar没有可比性啊....

Any comments?  Many thanks.

请大家分析以下比较在ETS看的含义
Rice has protein of higher quality than of lower quality(介宾比较，of higher 与 of lower比）
意义：米有高质蛋白质而非低质蛋白质
Rice has protein of higher quality than that in wheat(宾语比较，protein 与protein(that指代)比
Rice has protein of higher quality than sugur.（宾语比较，protein 与sugar比）
意义：米中的蛋白质比麦中蛋白质质量高
意义：米中的高质蛋白质比糖多。

其实我觉得这句话真的说不通呢，但baby姐姐，作者自己想的这个例子是不是就想要我们掌握介宾比较的固定模式呢，就是  A do sth  of  C1 by D1than of C2 by D2，而这句话就先不去看比的通不通顺是很符合这个模式的，要是我们以后遇见了介宾结构就记下来对照看看
因为后面作者又举了一个og的例子就是
Sand road costs twice as many to build as to maintain    就是 to build 和 to maintain 的比较

我觉得作者在这真没比对 应该是 Rice has more  protein than  sugar,才对
不过作者总结的比较的固定模式很赞呢，我们以后找到正确的好句子可以自己来跟着对号入座呢，(*^__^*) 嘻嘻……
