Antarctica receives more solar radiation than does any other place on Earth, yet the temperatures are so cold and the ice cap is reflective, so that little polar ice melts during the summer; otherwise, the water levels of the oceans would rise 250 feet and engulf most of the world's great cities.
建议楼主搜索“比较”。简单说一点我知道的皮毛。比较要看比较双方的句子结构。如果是SVO than SVO的话,如果是比较主语,则需要加谓语动词,否则会造成主语和宾语比较的歧义。如果是比较宾语,则than后面的SV如果相同可以省略:I eat more apples than oranges; I eat more apples than you do; I eat more apples than you. 这三句话里面,最后一句是不可取的。
