從句中省略了主語,但從上下文中很難找出省去的主語,有的語法學(xué)家和學(xué)者就把a(bǔ)s/than看作關(guān)系代詞充當(dāng)從句的主語;有的則把a(bǔ)s/than看作連詞,從句省略主語it.人們往往采取靈活的方法分析此類句子.
More people died of flu than (相當(dāng)于the people +that) died in the war .死于流感人要多于死于戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的人.
In the case of women ,the idealised body shape is thin —thinner than average and some health experts would say ,thinner than ( it ) is healthy .在女性中,理想的身材是瘦.一些專家會(huì)說比應(yīng)有健康還要瘦.“危害他的身體”從哪里來 或者跟“more than”有什么關(guān)系才導(dǎo)致“good” 變成危害身體了 謝謝啊省去it ，即指drinking。直譯：喝得比對(duì)他身體好的量還要多。上面的是意譯。
