解释'我还是不能体会为什么不加were会有歧义'

1.+were 选项 D 

句子还原为 Inuits of the Bering Sea were isolated from contact with Europeans longer than (Europerns) were Aleuts or Inuits of the North Pacific and northern Alaska (isolated from).

简写:I were isolated from contact with E longer than E were A isolated from.

翻译:I 与 E 隔离的时间 比 A 与 E 隔离的时间长.

句子难点:这里用了倒装,正常语序是 I were isloated from contact with E longer than A were isolated from E.

我总结的关于比较型句子的省略规则是,保留被比较词,去掉两边相同的词,若比较词为主语,则还需保留谓语

如这句:

I were isolated from contact with E longer than

A were isolated from contact with E

A 与 I 是被比较词,且为主语,需要保留谓语动词were,其余画线处为相同处,所以可以省略. 即, I were isolated fro contact with E longer than A were 倒装 were A.

2.不+were B选项

句子还原为:

I were isolated from contact with E longer than

I were isolated from contact with A.

E与A是被比较词,且非主语,则相同部分均可去掉为 I were isolated from contact with E longer than A. 

所以 ,此乃歧义之出处

CD上牛人就是多！！

可是，恕我愚钝，我想问一下，既然+were是比较主语,不+were是比较宾语，

那个这个题目，如果是在我们拿到题目时，如何判断这题中   宾语的比较是错误的，题目本身的含义是要我们比较主语呢？

如果这个是需要背景知识的话，外国考生不是很亏的说，毕竟在这题中宾语的比较在句法上是没有错误的啊

谢谢，请NN们指点，如果在拿到这样的题目时，准确快速的做出判断，谢谢

顶楼上啊~~~不是应该遵循A选项是么?我当时还是特意选的A,因为A表示的比较宾语,而D就改变原意了,变成主语之间的比较了..还是说这里因为不是简单的S do O than O而是S do prep O than O结构，所以必须在than后面也补出介词才能比较宾语，变成： S do prep O than prep O才行呢？这个介词的补出对于比较宾语而言是必须的么？还有这里的介词为什么要补from而不是with？
