  比较中的省略

  1、在as…as中,as从句可省略整个谓语部分,保留主语

  She sings as well as her sister. 她跟她的姐姐唱得一样好(省去了does)。

  2、可以省去谓语部分,保留主语和be、have等助动词

  3、可以省去主语和谓语,只剩下状语

  4、than从句也可以省去整个谓语部分,保留主语

  They say that blood is thicker than water,that our relatives are more important to us than others. 他们说血浓于水,亲属对我们来说比其他人更重要。

  5、than从句省去部分谓语,保留主语和be,have或助动词

  The white collar workers earn more than the blue workers do.

  白领工人比蓝领工人挣得多。

  这时我们可以进行倒装,即将than后从句中的be,have或助动词移到该从句的前边

  After all,big changes are relatively easier to make than are small ones.

  相对来说,大变动比小变动毕竟容易些。

  The fact is that some drug addicts are much better able to cure addiction in each other than are psychiatrists;some convicts can run better rehabilitation programs for convicts than do correctional officers;some patients in mental hospitals are better for each other than is the staff.

  8、than从句可以省去主语,保留谓语部分

  9、有时可以省去整个than从句

  He is much healthier and happier. 她比以往任何时侯都健康幸福。(省去了than he was ever before)

  10、为了避免重复,我们经常用that代替不可数名词,those代替复数名词,one代替可数名词单数

  隐含比较级

  有时比较级并不一定出现than,这时通过上下文可喑示出,如:

    -Of the two oranges,which do you choose?

    -I like the larger one.

    这里的larger one是指前边提到的两个当中的较大的一个。而且有些形容词在表示比较的时候,跟“to”而不用“than”

  1、prior to 较早的,较重要的

  I called on him prior to my departure. 动身前我去看了他一趟。
