问个问题,来源于SC Prep08语法笔记: —————————————————————————— 一个大家常误会的句子: The farm has more than twice as many cows as it has pigs.农场有多于猪两倍多的牛的数量(农场牛的数量比猪的两倍还要多)。(很多人会误读为猪比牛多。) 解读方法:可以类比一下A has B twice as many as C这个比较句型也可以写为A has twice as many B as C. 所以句子的核心是A has B,即:The farm has cows. 详细解读:twice as …as中前一个as是副词,more than twice as修饰many;而as it has pigs中的as自然是个连词,所以后面跟的是一个adverbial clause(状语从句/副词从句),而as…as句型比较特殊,后面的as要与前面as所修饰的内容相呼应,所以as it has pigs应该与前面as所修饰的对象many相呼应,即as it has pigs也是修饰了many。 ------------------------------------ 1.俺没有误解原句的意思哈,我的问题是: The farm has more than twice as many cows as it has pigs.是不是可以写成:The farm has more than twice as many cows as pigs.?? 2. 俺完全看不懂以及不理解上述详细解释中对as的副词连词词性的描述。我的想法是:是不是as…as 和than这两种比较结构的 实质是:比较结构中相同元素的省略? 对主谓宾全的句型 主语比较: A do sth than B do.(AB为对等名词,加do是为了显示这是一个可以发出动作的名词,因而确定是主语,进而确定是主语对比) 介宾比较: A do sth of C1 by D1 than of C2 by D2.(C1C2,D1D2对等名词) 宾语比较: A do C1 than C2.(C1C2为对等名词) 状语比较: A do sth than usual/everbefore/people expected(直接加状语) There be 句型等同于一般的主谓宾俱全的句型。老天保佑解答俺问题的人一定750+  -- by 会员 张小心 (2011/11/24 16:26:12)
实质这个词点破了所有的语法要点和语法精神,就是打破砂锅。虽然这是个见仁见智的东西,但是并不表示其本身应具有的准确完备性,如同科学都是在发展的并不表示目前针对个案没有定论。 as...as..结构中的省略,主要在于从句中与主句重复词的省略,另外就是把两个时间、地点等相比较时,第一个as可以省略。(引自语法手册) The farm has more than twice as many cows as it has pigs.这句如果是The farm has as many cows as it has pigs.就不难看出可以省略为The farm has as many cows as pigs.其实万变不离其宗 例句:I have twice as many brothers as sisters. 拓展 题目 uring a visit by the census taker, one child in a family said, “I have twice as many brothers as sisters.”Another child in the family said, “I don’t. I have thesame number of brothers and sisters.” How manychildren are there in the family? |
