以下是引用bluestone1在2003-12-16 10:32:00的发言：
最根本的原则是：无歧义就能省就省；有歧义则该补就补

1、I am taller than he (is).    要省略（主句无宾语，主语比较很明确）

2、China has more people than Canada has.       要补，以明确 Canada 不是与 people 比

3、885 sec 3-24
    a civilization （a thousand years more ancient than the city ）.
    括号部分作定语修饰 a civilization
    定语从句结构为  a civilization was a thousand years more ancient than the city --情况同 1

4、170中 making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than it was five years ago 是伴随状语
      结构是 a large rise makes the economic health more robust than it was five years ago.
      more rebust 是宾补， 加上 it was 更明确表明比较对象是 economic health 而不是 a rise

此规律太难掌握，唉！难 ...

      

    

茅塞顿开！

但考试时时间那么紧张，怎么可能做这么细致的分析呢？

要熟练掌握，还是——难哪！

这个原则说的好，不过我看没有或有歧义的句子，未必他人也赞同我的观点，尤其是评分人。真的很麻烦！

试着总结了下LS 的题：

404.In the 1980’s the rate of increase of the minority population of the United States was nearly twice as fast as the 1970’s.
(A) twice as fast as
(B) twice as fast as it was in
(C) twice what it was in
(D) two times faster than that of
(E) two times greater than

这个的答案可以使“twice that was in”么

 

 

In the 1980’s the rate of increase of the minority population of the United States was nearly twice what it was in the 1970’s.

 

相同主语不同时间状语的比较，补出主语谓语，In the 1980’s the rate was nearly twice the rate was in the 1970’s, 可以理解为不同主语比较，即
        1980’s rate 和
        1970’s rate比较，补出助动词
        was；
            

420.In the United States, trade unions encountered far more intense opposition against their struggle for social legitimacy than the organized labor movements of most other democratic nations.
(A) against their struggle for social legitimacy than
(B) in their struggle for social legitimacy than did
(C) against their struggle for social legitimacy as
(D) in their struggle for social legitimacy as did
(E) when they struggled for social legitimacy than has

 

trade unions encountered far more intense opposition in their struggle for social legitimacy than did
                 the organized labor movements of most other democratic nations.

trade unions encountered more intense opposition in their struggle than did
                 the organized labor movements

 

trade unions encountered more intense opposition in their struggle than the organized labor movements encountered

 

主语比较，补出助动词

 

435.Inuits of the Bering Sea were in isolation from contact with Europeans longer than Aleuts or Inuits of the North Pacific and northern Alaska.
(A) in isolation from contact with Europeans longer than
(B) isolated from contact with Europeans longer than
(C) in isolation from contact with Europeans longer than were
(D) isolated from contact with Europeans longer than were
(E) in isolation and without contacts with Europeans longer than

were
(E) in isolation and without contacts with Europeans longer than

 

这个是要加were的，不然就会引起歧义了，以为是Europeans和Aleuts or inuits的比较了。

 

Inuits of the Bering Sea isolated from contact with Europeans longer than were Aleuts

 主Inuits of the Bering Sea，谓语isolated，宾from contact with Europeans，比较
        longer than，比较另一方Aleuts

主语比较，补出助动词were，不补出的话，不引起宾语比较的歧义，即Europeans和Aleuts 比较

 

 

 

461.Judge Forer recognizes that the American judicial system provides more safeguards for accused persons than does the legal system of any other country, but she believes there is a great disparity between the systems of justice accorded rich and poor.
(A) for accused persons than does the legal system of any other country
(B) to accused persons as the legal system of any country
(C) for accused persons as the legal system of any country
(D) to accused persons as the legal system of any other country
(E) for accused persons than the legal system of any country

 

the American judicial system provides more safeguards for accused persons than does the legal system of any other country

 

the American judicial system provides more safeguards for accused persons than the legal system of any other country does

主语比较，补出助动词does，不补出的话，会有accused persons 和the legal system of any other country 比较，即宾语比较的歧义

 

491.Local residents claim that San Antonio, Texas, has more good Mexican American restaurants than any city does in the United States.
(A) any city does
(B) does any other city
(C) other cities do
(D) any city
(E) other cities

这个为什么不能选C？？有any other city是不是也可以选呢?

 

SA has more good Mexican American restaurants than any other city does

 

SA和any other city比较，主语比较，要补出助动词does，不补出会有restaurants 和any other city 比较的歧义（即宾语比较）；另外，主语是SA，是一个city，所以后面也要和另一个city 比较，所以B any other city 好，而C中
        other cities 复数，不好。

 

 

492.Los Angeles has a higher number of family dwellings per capita than any large city.
(A) a higher number of family dwellings per capita than any large city
(B) higher numbers of family dwellings per capita than any other large city
(C) a higher number of family dwellings per capita than does any other large city
(D) higher numbers of family dwellings per capita than do other large cities
(E) a high per capita number of family dwellings, more than does any other large city

 

 

 

Los Angeles has a higher number of family dwellings per capita than does any other large city

 

LA 和
            另一个city 相比较，即主语比较，补出助动词does。且LA是一个city ，也要和另一个city 比。

634.Senior executives had a larger percentage increase in pay in 1990 than the wages of other salaried workers.
(A) Senior executives had a larger percentage increase in pay in 1990 than
(B) The percentage of senior executives’ pay increase in 1990 was larger than for
(C) The 1990 increase in pay for senior executives was larger in terms of percentage than
(D) In 1990 senior executives had a larger pay increase in terms of percentage than did
(E) The pay of senior executives increased in 1990 by a larger percentage than did

 

原文未划线部分是the wages of other salaried workers，中心词
            wage，所以比较前半部分也应该是
            “工资”；A，主语Senior executives，不能和工资比较；B，主语percentage，不能和工资比较；C，主语The 1990 increase，不能和工资比较；D主语Senior executives，不能和工资比较；E，主语pay，可以和工资比，且The pay of senior executives increased in 1990 by a larger percentage than did the wages of other salaried workers.  主语比较即The pay of senior executives 和the wages of other salaried workers比较，要补出助动词

763.The guiding principles of the tax plan released by the Treasury Department could have even a greater significance for the economy than the particulars of the plan.
(A) even a greater significance for the economy than
(B) a significance that is even greater for the economy than
(C) even greater significance for the economy than have
(D) even greater significance for the economy than do
(E) a significance even greater for the economy than have

 

The tax plan’s guiding principles could have even greater significance for the economy than the particulars of the plan do

主语比较，即
            plan’s principles 和the plan’s particulars 比较，所以补出助动词

839.The United States government employs a much larger proportion of women in trade negotiations than any government.
(A) a much larger proportion of women in trade negotiations than any
(B) a much larger proportion of women in trade negotiations than does any other
(C) much larger proportions of women in trade negotiations than has any
(D) proportions of women in trade negotiations that are much larger than any
(E) proportions of women in trade negotiations that are much larger than any other

The United States government employs a much larger proportion of women in trade negotiations than any other government does.

主语The United States government，比较另一方any other government，主语比较，要补出助动词，does

ls的很强，看到这里基本已经明确很多了

fehler

选C的话，句子就变成 than other cities do in the United States。最后的介词短语没有紧跟修饰对象，可能有问题。我想这也是大多数倒装的原因吧。

491.Local residents claim that San Antonio, Texas, has more good Mexican American restaurants than any city does in the United States.
(A) any city does
(B) does any other city
(C) other cities do
(D) any city
(E) other cities  

这个为什么不能选C？？有any other city是不是也可以选呢?

yay

偶感觉哦~~如果have是做实意动词表拥有，有啊的时候，than后面就要补上do,did

偶觉得比较最难得就是判断比较对象是谁跟谁，如果判断出来了是n&n,还是v&v,还是句子&句子，就迎刃而解了~~偶还在这个地方纠结中。。。

rainbowmanutd

18L和16L的解释相反呀（虽然答案一样），
16L说不是主语比较不用补，也就是说主语比较才补，
18L的第一个例子说 I am taller than he (is).    要省略（主句无宾语，主语比较很明确），这里是主语比较，怎么又省略了呢

In the 1980’s the rate of increase of the minority population of the United States was nearly twice as fast as the 1970’s.(A) twice as fast as
(B) twice as fast as it was in
(C) twice what it was in
(D) two times faster than that of
(E) two times greater than
answer：c

慕容枫痕

如果是C的话就成了一个city和其他全部的city加起来比了.不符原意。I suppose.

慕容枫痕

62L里面有一句In the 1980’s the rate was nearly twice the rate was in the 1970’s.
但我总觉得In the 1980’s the rate was nearly twice the rate in the 1970’s.比较通。
请指正。
