※ 引述《tootoobenee (A級垂耳兔)》之銘言： : ※ 引述《glendy (glendy)》之銘言： : : 第16題 : : Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending : : in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than it : : ---------------------------- : : was in any previous election. : : --- : : 答案是Ｂ： : : a greater proportion than : : 但我選C： : : a greater proportion than they have been : : 是否they have been是多餘的字眼？或有其他原因？ : 這題是走同位語的獨立主格結構, 還原句為 : a proportion (that was) greater that it was in any previous election : a proportion是以同位語方式修飾half of the spending : 省略後因為be動詞that was的was消失了,所以後面than的主詞及be動詞也跟著省略 : 這樣比較結構才會平衡 : 一點淺見... 【原題照引】第16題 Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than it ---------------------------- was in any previous election. --- 答案是Ｂ：a greater proportion than 【解法】一、這題的語意乃「此比例 (more than half) 比原本之前的任何一次選舉的比例都高」。所以這句話在完整情況下可以寫成： Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, which is a greater proportion than it was in any previous election. 二、1992 之後的 which is 可以省略，而使得 a greater... 成為同位語。這應該不用解釋吧！三、根據文法規定， than 之後的省略情況有一條規則：「若主要子句與從屬子句的時態不同時，不能省略動詞（或助動詞），但若有『表示時間的字』時，就可以省略。」例如： It is warmer today than (it was) yesterday. 故原題中 than 之後的部分，因為有表時間的字 (in any previous election)，故可以將 it was 省略。四、如此便得到原題答案 (B) 的 a greater proportion than in any previous election. 供參考 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.23.25
