[原创]比较之庖丁解牛

终于把这楼爬完了。。。
有个问题请教：
City dweller have a higher death rate than do country people.
这个句子到底是不是倒装？
如果是倒装 那原句应该就是
City dweller have a higher death rate than country people (do)
那到底什么时候倒装，什么时候不倒装？

也有人说这不是倒装，than是关系代词，可是就算是关系代词怎么会有do呢，顺序也没法还原啊。

求讲解。。。。

终于让我找着了。。。

You can switch order, but "does he" is not generally used. You're more likely to see the verb before the pronoun when the things being compared take additional words to describe:

People who prepare for the GMAT tend to score higher than do those who take it sight unseen.

You might also add a verb, such as "does," to eliminate ambiguity from a sentence such as "I like pie more than my brother." Do I like pie more than my brother likes pie, or do I like pie more than I like my brother? I can clear this up by adding "does":

I like pie more than does my brother.
