这个英语句子应该如何理解?思维导图模板大纲
有读者问到了这样一个问题:
(1) There ought to be less anxiety over the risk of mountain climbing than exists in the public mind.
(2) The swimming pool seems to be a great deal more luxurious than is necessary.
(1) There ought to be less anxiety over the risk of mountain climbing than (the anxiety that) exists in the public mind.
(2) The swimming pool seems to be a great deal more luxurious than (what) is necessary.
省略现象在than引导的比较状语从句中很常见,这里分析一下常见的几种省略类型。
(1)than从句中省略主语
To compensate for his unpleasant experiences in hospital, the man drank a little more than was good for him.
(为了补偿住院这一段不愉快的经历,那人喝得稍微多了一点。)
不少同学无法理解…the man drank a little more than was good for him这一用法,这里其实是省略了主语what,补充完整是:…the man drank a little more than (what) was good for him.
一些语法学家认为,than后面带what结构是累赘的表达,因此在比较正式的表达中,than后面的主语what经常省略。
文章开头出现的句子:There ought to be less anxiety over the risk of mountain climbing than (the anxiety that) exists in the public mind. 也是省略主语的情况。
They went to the office earlier than usual.
They went to the office earlier than (it was) usual (for them to go to the office).
(2)than从句中省略谓语
He can run more quickly than his father (can).
Both recipes use more salt than mine (does).
(3)than从句中省略主语和谓语
Wild animals spend less energy to live in winter than in summer.
Wild animals spend less energy to live in winter than (they spend) in summer.
第二句补充完整后相当于:
End results were much better when managers were allowed to contribute than (end results were) when they were not (allowed to contribute).
He has a higher opinion of Mary than of Jane.
这里的介词"of"不能省略,不然就破坏了than两边结构的平行。
It is easier to understand a language than to speak it.
句子中"to"同样也不能省略。
He speaks more quickly than his secretary can take dictation. (他说得很快,以至于秘书记不过来)
此时句子比较的两个对象是he speaks/ his secretary can take dictation,它们属于不同性质的事物,不能省略为:He speaks more quickly than his secretary.
Mr. Smith loves music more than his wife.
(1) Mr. Smith loves music more than (he loves) his wife. (史密斯先生爱音乐胜过爱自己的妻子)
(2) Mr. Smith loves music more than his wife (does). (史密斯比他的妻子更喜欢音乐)
我们可以根据实际想表达的含义采取1句或2句的写法来消除歧义。
