[曼哈顿语法]比较，里面的数量一致

唐棣

在做比较的时候，两个元素需不需要agree in number?
曼哈顿第147页： They worked AS a sketch artist. wrong, need to agree in number.
而在第136页的第五题：
right: Law students learn to think as a lawyer does.
right: Law students learn to think like a lawyer.

这时候是对的。
关于这个也有人在曼哈顿论坛上问了，得到的答案是
When making comparisons, I do not have to worry about whether one element is singular and whether one is plural. They elements being compared just need to be logically and structurally similar. Here I am comparing the way law students think to the way a lawyer thinks.

顶起。。还真没考虑过这个问题。。。。感觉不是split，还是要看有木有逻辑歧义。。呼唤D哥。。。。。

感觉数量不一致不是grammatically wrong，要看语境

比较的时候数量可以不一致，当数量不一致时，后面的比较内容不能用that of/those of 代替，而要重述前面对应的名词。。。Manhattan语法说了。。。
