[求助]比较结构

记得MarieMM讲过一道关于than usual (is usual)的题目;


当时MarieMM对A is heavier than is usual的解释是:与其说A普通不如说A重;(原题找不出来了)


当时MarieMM还举了OG例子


253. Analysts blamed May’s sluggish retail sales on unexciting merchandise as well as the weather, colder and wetter than was usual in some regions, which slowed sales of barbecue grills and lawn furniture.


(A) colder and wetter than was usual in some regions, which slowed


(B) which was colder and wetter than usual in some regions, slowing


(C) since it was colder and wetter than usually in some regions, which slowed


(D) being colder and wetter than usually in some regions, slowingB


(E) having been colder and wetter than was usual in some regions and slowed


Choice B is the best answer. It is concise and idiomatic, and which has a clear referent, the weather. In A, the insertion of was is unnecessary, and the referent of which is not clear because regions, not weather, is the nearest noun. In C, the adjective usual is needed in place of the adverb usually, and the referent of which is unclear because regions, not weather, is the nearest noun. In D and E, the verb phrases (being colder..., having been colder...) do not refer as clearly to the noun weather as the pronoun which does. Choice D needs the adjective usual in place of the adverb usually, while choice E fails to maintain parallelism in verb tense (having been... and slowed).



可是,这样下面的23题有点问题


答案B的意思是:与其说G普通,不如说G大.


23


The grasshopper is larger than normal for a member of insects class; its abdomen can be up to two inches in length, as opposed to one-inch-long abdomen of the average insect.



  • normal


  • is normal


  • was normal


  • they normally are


  • they are normally



  • 解释:


    我现在就死记新东方德教条了,下面三句话:


    1I am taller than are you.


    2I am taller than you are.


    3I am taller than you.


    在实际选项中,12好,23好。

    我认为23题中normal并非我们平时看到的那种than normal后面什么都没有的结构,这里的normal后有一串东西,所以应该把normal for a menber of insects class作为一个和grasshopper对等的比较对象,因此,这里应该补出is。不过,说实话,在考场里我多半不会多考虑A就上了。

    不过,是个好题。

    weiyuGG好厉害啊,刚打开CD就看见你追过来的短信,我想糊里糊涂,不求甚解也不行啦!~~~只好老老实实回答问题!嘻嘻

    你说的这道heavier than is usual的题这几天正在讨论呢,你去看看,发表一下你的看法 http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=23&ID=54498&page=1

    关于grasshoper这题我记得也曾经碰见过,我的感觉是than usual和这题的than normal有所不同, than usual如OG所说,已经成了习语,除非确实要表达sth is adj than is usual, 不然还是应该用这个idiom,但是其它的形容词如normal只是形容词的比较,所以要用is+adj,因为这些形容词好像不能用来做状语(tianwanGG在上面的那个链接里提到了状语和表语的区别)

    另外GG提到的这三条" 1I am taller than are you. 2I am taller than you are.3I am taller than you"指的可是主语的比较, 不是本题的表现形式,应是 sb is adj1(比较级) than is adj2(原形)

    请多指教

    这是Juan的解释


    摘自LSAT阅读:


    According to the passage proponents of the cooling hypothesis suggested that the circumpolar vortex is likely to expand when which one of the following occurs?



    (A) The average annual atmospheric temperature of the tropics is significantly higher than normal for an extended period of time.



    (B) The average annual snowfall in the Northern Hemisphere is lower than normal for an extended period of time.



    我不认为 which was colder and wetter than usual in some regions,和The grasshopper is larger than normal for a member of insects class 在句子结构上有差别.我同意marie MM的意见,如果后句能改成The grasshopper is larger than what is normal for a number of insects class,那么前句也应该能改成which was colder and wetter than what is usual in some regions.


    我还是觉得应该是than normal..


    谢谢指点.
