其实比较级也是一种平行。 是一种逻辑上的平行。时态也是。 这句话主要表达的意思是 被大白鲨吃掉的人数其实要少于被蜜蜂蛰死的人数。 前面说了have been killed by great white shark 那后面比较部分也肯定是have been killed by bee stings 真的别想太多。

题目释义：Only seven people this century have been killed by … --- fewer than have been killed… 考点 比较（comparison） 习惯用法（idiom） 比较双方对等。 people作为人民讲的时候是复数名词，所以用few不用little。 破折号在本题中有反讽或表达意外的含义：被蜜蜂蛰死的人比被专门吃人的白鲨吃掉的人还多。 选项分析 A. less错误。those指代people，比较对象没有问题，但是比较结构上却不平行，前面用的是主谓结构，people是主语，been killed是谓语，后面虽然比较词people正确，可却没有用谓语的形式。 B. correct。其中have been前省略了people/those，虽然不太好，但是比较最对称的一个选项了。另外破折号的使用是适合的。 C. which可以跳过插入语指代没问题；less错误；those使得比较结构不平行。 D. a number同位语与其所修饰对象seven people太远；不能跟people相比较。 E. ones指代了people，使得比较结构不平行。

平行结构中，如果形式完全相同，可以把相同的词省略，不管是比较对象还是动词。只要形式完全相同的前提下，任何相同的单词都可以省略。

1. fewer， 修饰可数名词，people 2. 正确省略， than (the man/people) have been killed by sth

单破折号可修饰名词，也可修饰句子 修饰people，隔得很远，最好加上单破折号

pick the choice with the best parallelism！！！前后都有have been才平行

you can't use parallel constructions with "those"/"that"/etc, in separate clauses, unless they are EXACTLY PARALLEL to whatever shows up in the other part. 这句话的意思是：本世纪只有7人被大白鲨杀掉（修饰语:电影中的吃人怪），比死于蜜蜂的（人数）少很多。Ones---代指前面被大白鲨袭击的ppl,不make sense

What does (B) omit between "few than" and "have been"?

i don't think that this can be regarded as an ellipsis/omission, since "fewer than ..." isn't a clause. instead, like other comparisons, it's just a parallel structure: have been killed by the shark is parallel to have been killed by bee stings. note that these verbs don't necessarily have to be in the same tense; if context dictates, they can be in different tenses. for instance, the second half of this parallel structure could also be something like ...were killed in a single car accident this morning in Dallas.

hyphens are shorter, and are used within two-part words (such as "two-part"). in this context, the dash essentially serves the same purpose as a comma. the only difference is that you don't use dashes at random; you use them when there is some special emphasis or irony (or both) in what you're saying. example: Joe, who is from Miami, complained about the cold of the Las Vegas winter. --> no irony; this makes perfect sense, since las vegas is much colder than miami in winter. therefore, no reason to use dashes. Joe -- who is from Duluth -- complained about the cold of the Las Vegas winter. --> extreme irony, since duluth is about 70 degrees colder than las vegas in the winter.
