这个补出的动词可以是和than前面一样的实义动词had(have的过去式)也可是用省略形式did
v+ less of/more of + n. than..., 表示在更小程度上/更大程度上做某事,由于less of后面是n,than后要补出助动词以避免产生歧义
这道题考察的的point不在于work和career的平行。 而是考查比较结构中省略的歧义与否。大原则:比较时,只要不造成歧义,可以省去第二个比较对象句子中的任何部分,比如动词啊,甚至是从句等。 我先给你举个简单的例子:I like cheese more than Richard. 这句话里,你读出了几种信息? 没错,两种。因为,richard在这句话里既可以做object(此时的意思是我爱奶酪胜过爱richard),也可以做subject(此时的意思是我爱奶酪的程度比richard爱奶酪的程度要大)。 再看一个例子: He eats more apples than orange(这里,orange只能是object, 因为它自己不能吃苹果)。 数字大小用smaller,东西多少有more or less
had改成did也可以
'had' actually creates better parallelism, as it's parallel to 'have' in the first part. 不能没有had: there is ambiguity if you eliminate the helping verb. without the helping verb, there are two interpretations: 1: young people are less committed to work/career than WERE their parents/grandparents (the intended meaning) 2: young people are less committed to work/career than TO their parents/grandparents you can't tell which of these is the correct meaning without the helping verb; therefore, the helping verb is necessary.
A a smaller commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents 【有歧义 their parents and grandparents是作为to的宾语还是和young people比较做主语】 B less of a commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents 【 同A】 C a smaller commitment to work and a career than that of their parents and grandparents 【 commitment是不可数 不能用small修饰 只能用few修饰】
因为前面是由谓语动词的二所以这个也要加!
。have是实义动词,than后面的parents and grandparents 需要补出动词以避免歧义,这个补出的动词可以是和than前面一样的实义动词had(have的过去式)也可是用省略形式did。
v+ less of/more of + n. than..., 表示在更小程度上/更大程度上做某事,由于less of后面是n,than后要补出助动词以避免产生歧义
时态不同所以要补充出来
v+ less of/more of + n. than..., 表示在更小程度上/更大程度上做某事,less of/more of是用来修饰动词的,后面的名词可以是单数也可以是复数。 smaller指体型、型号什么的。
这里助动词一定要补充完整的,不然又歧义啊!!
