[讨论]大全885 01-13平行的省略问题

13.   It
is as difficult to prevent crimes against property as those that are against
a person.B

    

(A) those that are
against a

    

(B) those against
a

    

(C) it is against
a

    

(D) preventing
those against a（E）

    

(E) it is to
prevent those against a

这道题正解是E，我选的B，如果按照B把句子还原，就是It
is as difficult to prevent crimes against property as (it is to prevent) those  against a person  这样的省略为什么不行？请指教

as后面要跟完整的句子。

谢谢兄台，不过这个不一定吧，我语法基础比较差，说不出个所以然来，但是作为比较结构中AS后面不是完整句子的例子很多啊，继续讨论

It is as difficult to prevent crimes against property as those that are against a person.

(A) those that are against a

(B) those against a

(C) it is against a

(D) preventing those against a（E）

(E) it is to prevent those against a

这个句子中的as结构是 as difficult as，句子是倒装，正常语序是 to prevent crimes against property is as difficult as to prevent those against a person.

因此，连接的并列成分应该是 to prevent crimes against property 和 to prevent those against a person

补充一下：E似乎还是倒装

如果E中的it is 去掉，是否正确呢？

第一个it是代替to prevent crimes against property，也就是说整句意思上是：

To prevent crimes against property is as difficult as to prevent crimes against a person.

所以，as后面也应该出现it，并且it应该是代替to prevent crimes against a person

B的话，整句话就成了 to prevent crimes against property和crimes against a person来比较了，不通

你说的省略，这样把动宾结构拆开，省略动词(prevent)而保留宾语(those)是不行的

neo1001

E去掉it is也不行，前面是倒装，后面也应该是倒装，这样才平行

以下是引用neo1001在2008-3-7 11:06:00的发言：
E去掉it is也不行，前面是倒装，后面也应该是倒装，这样才平行

但是 实际上比较的是as之后的部分 我理解可以不用带上it is

否则就相当于整个句子都要做比较

neo1001

it在这里没有实际意思，只是个形式主语，代替to prevent against...

有没有it is，意思上都是比较to prevent against..，没有分别

问题是前面是用it做形式主语，后面也要这样，这才是洋人所说的parallel

谢谢解答

我明白N兄说的了，就是还原的话To prevent A is as difficlut to prevent B,问题在于本题中未划线部分有形式主语it，那么划线部分就必须补出了，收获很大
