！！！ 1 当时句意理解错误了，比较的是quarter 和dollar bill(两种货币）而不是coin和dollar bill （纸币肯定比硬币轻，所以用货币代替纸币不合逻辑 2 如果是动词weigh 用less（副词）如果是名词weight 用light(形容词）

by the way, the same principle is at work when a noun is modified/described with another noun ("appositives"). e.g., He lives in Benton Harbor, an old industrial town on Lake Michigan. again, both pieces work individually: He lives in Benton Harbor. He lives in an old industrial town on Lake Michigan.

还原it weighs far less than four quarters。 比较前后都出现介词for不会有歧义

1.more than前后对称，as a substitute for four quarters more than (used as a substitute) for dollar bill. 2.后面是four quaters,而不是the wights of four quarter，所以less than，or lighter than 前都只能用it weighs

1. 根据原文的提示8.1 grams 这是一个数据的比较 所以明显far less 更好 2. 正确理解语意是谁和谁比较

1）X will be used more as a substitute for Y than Z = ambiguous: could mean either (1) X will be used as a substitute for Y, more than Z will be used as a substitute for Y, or (2) X will be used as a substitute for Y, more than X will be used as a substitute for Z. more放在后面，先是substitute。 2）weight不能和four quarters比较，所以用it weighs

关于是用less 还是lighter He is higher than her对 His height is greater than her对 His height is higher than her 错 同理，it weights only 8.1 grams far less than four quarters (weighs)

比较数字用less更好
