哦!谢谢NN
我当初想也是这样省略的,但是为啥能确定省略的是 复数形式 的 microcomputers 而不是跟上文一 ...
这个问题很好啊,楼主不要苦恼。来看一下如果省略的是单数microcomputer会是怎样?
还是先把句子还原:
A recent national study of the public schools shows that there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many as there was (1/4 microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils) four years ago.
等等,1/4 microcomputer 是个神马意思?computer可不能像蛋糕一样分啊。
换个方式行吗?把pupils翻4倍不就得了?
还是先把句子还原:
A recent national study of the public schools shows that there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many as there was (one microcomputer for every 128 pupils) four years ago.
这样子句子就不一样了,there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils vs. there was one microcomputer for every 128 pupils four years ago
不一样就不能随便省略了,也就说省略的部分要一致才不会有歧义。
而从语义上来讲,比较的就是microcomputer的数量,那肯定不止一个喽,所以复数在这里更好。 |
