Prep1-114 不懂為何用more so than

shirky2009

此题比较主语怎么把谓语给省略掉了？不是会造成歧义？

个人认为，此题ETS考察的目的，
more...than 的用法，主要是考察对比对象是否一致，即they---those的使用

这道题今天做得时候又有一些想法：

我先试着把原句的句子结构列一下：A study...found that...women(who took new jobs after retiring from their primary careers) (were)reported high marital satisfaction, more (were) reported high marital satisfaction than those who retired completely.不知道这里是否应该补出were

我觉得这道题的关键，也就是大家经常搞不懂的 more so than其实表达的是women 1(前面的)和women2(后面的)marital satisfaction程度的比较，不是我们经常遇到的more than那种数量的比较。我在做这道题时就以为是women1 more than women2，后来想想so其实就是要表达这种high marital satisfaction的比较。

所以，如果我想把选项改为

A study on couples' retirement transitions found that women who took new jobs after retiring from their primary careers reported high marital satisfaction, more than those
            who retired completely. 是不符合题目原意的。

大家看是这样理解吧？

沒有were, 也沒有被省的were
如果有(被省的)were, 那邏輯意思就不對...

比较对象的问题

114. A study on couples' retirement transitions found that women who took new jobs after retiring from their primary careers reported high marital satisfaction, more than when retiring completely.

 

 

(A) more than when retiring

(B) more than if they were to retire

(C) more so than those who retired

(D) which was more so than those retiring

(E) which was more than if they had retired

后两个比较容易看出来，所以我解释前三个

A省略了(THEY ARE) , 和 B的错误差不多， 如果补齐了就是

妇女甲 在退休后又找到新工作的话， 那么她现在比她如果完全退休了要幸福

比较对象是 妇女甲和妇女甲自己比较

C的意思是， 妇女甲在退休后找到新工作， 那么她比妇女乙丙丁。。。要幸福

MORE SO 的SO直代的是是（REPORTED HIGH MARITAL SATISFCATION)

啊?我理解错了？我觉得这句话主干就是：

a study...found that women...(were) reported high marital satisfaction,如果这里没有were的话，women应该是study的对象，应该是被report的啊？

如果women主动report的话就有点奇怪，但是也没有错。

在一个对家庭生活得study里面，women叙述或呈现(report:to relate or tell about; present)了更大的满足感.

是women自己叙述，不是被别人说成有更大满足感.所以没有were更符合逻辑

嗯，想明白了，谢谢斑斑。

这个不是考点，自己总容易太抠细节，呵呵，弄不清楚总是惦记。
