章振邦的新编高级英语语法677页:
Our neighbours have a much larger house than ours.
1)比较项是much larger house 还是much larger呢?
2)Our neighbours have a much larger house than ours. = Our neighbours have a house much larger than ours.
如此,我了解比较项是much larger, 而不是上述1)中的或许会是much larger house.
3) 假如把than分句补全的话,
是 Our neighbours have a much larger house than we have ?
还是 Our neighbours have a much larger house than ours is ?
4) 从Our neighbours have a much larger house than ours. 或 Our neighbours have a house much larger than ours.
来补全than分句,会得出相同的补全的than分句吗?
麻烦老师解析,谢谢!
同理: 以下一句有类似的困惑。
There are more intelligent men than John.
比较项是more intelligent 还是more intelligent men?
than分句改写补全是There are more intelligent men than John is.吗?
麻烦老师解析,很感谢!
补全比较分句时不可改动原有些词项,不然就不是补全,而是改写了。
Our neighbours have a much larger house than ours.
比较项为a much larger house. 其对应项在从句作表语,需要空缺,但省略的系词可以补全。补全如下:
Our neighbours have a much larger house than ours is.
假如原句为:Our neighbours have a much larger house than we have.
则比较项为 a much larger house. 其对应项在从句作宾语,需要空缺。没办法补全。
There are more intelligent men than John.
比较项为more intelligent. 其对应项在从句作表语,需要省略不可补全,但省略的系词可补全:...... than John is.
