关于“比较”的困惑！！

maydaythekid

According to analysts, an alliance between three major personal computer companies and most of the nation’s largest local telephone companies would enable customers to receive Internet data over regular telephone lines with speeds much higher than is currently possible.

 

 

1. with speeds much higher than is

2. with speeds that are much higher than are

3. at much higher speeds as are

4. at much higher speeds than that

5. at speeds much higher than are

 答案是E，没有问题，但如果D改为 at much higher speeds than those 是否也对？？？！！！

 答案是E，没有问题，但如果D改为 at much higher speeds than those 是否也对？？？！！！

个人感觉at much higher speeds than和at speeds much higher than的意思是有偏差的

(例如I have more apples than you do和I have apples more than yours.)

而题目原文中比较的对象是speeds,不是at what speeds这个状态，逻辑上说得通的话，最好不要改动

就这道题，我感受不道意思偏差，APPLE例子也可以改改吗？

I have more apples than yours.   VS   I have apples more than you do.

比较之庖丁解牛

刚考完GMAT，VABAL44，受惠于CD很久，也希望对后人能栽点树，我想就我对比较的认识写点东西。我把OG上所有的比较都总结了一下，发现ETS结比较是有家规的，看似花样百出，实际是有章可循的，看下题 OG19 请大家分析以下比较在ETS看的含义 Rice has protein of higher quality than wheta does.(主语比较，Rice 与wheat比）意义：米有高质蛋白质，麦没有。 Rice has protein of higher quality than of lower quality(介宾比较，of higher 与 of lower比）意义：米有高质蛋白质而非低质蛋白质 Rice has protein of higher quality than that in wheat(宾语比较，protein 与protein(that指代)比 Rice has protein of higher quality than sugur.（宾语比较，protein 与sugar比）意义：米中的蛋白质比麦中蛋白质质量高意义：米中的高质蛋白质比糖多。 Rice has protein of higher quality than usual/everbfore/1000 years ago/people expected(状语比较）意义：米比通常/经往/多年前/人们预测/的蛋白质质量要高。下面我们谈比较之庖丁解牛

对主谓宾全的句型主语比较： A do sth than B do.（AB为对等名词，加do是为了显示这是一个可以发出动作的名词，因而确定是主语，进而确定是主语对比） 介宾比较 A do sth of C1 by D1 than of C2 by D2.（C1C2，D1D2对等名词） 宾语比较 A do C1 than C2.(C1C2为对等名词） 状语比较A do sth than usual/everbefore/people expected(直接加状语） ETS就这几下子，原则就是清楚地指示什么跟什么比。

按照这个原理，对下一种句型只有主谓，没有宾语的句子，因为没有宾语，只可能有主语比较，因而不需要重复do来确认这是一个可发出动作的主语，所以其比较形式如下： I eat faster than you.注意与下句区别 I eat apple faster than you do 如果写成 I eat apple faster than you 按ETS的理解，从语法上就变成我吃苹果比吃你快，成了宾语比较。逻辑上显然不通。

AS族的比较大同小异，as 可单独引导比较，也可以复合成as many as, as hard as 等形式，但ETS宗旨不变，如 Sand road costs twice as many to build as to manintain(类似于介宾比较） Sand road costs twice as many to build as stone road do(主语比较,） Sand road costs the govement twice as many to build as the residents.(宾语比较） ETS考过AS比较的习惯用法（不受上述限制，如下） AS poor as they are, they can ont afford a car. They have 800million students, as many as have enrolled in our school. (注意以上都是用逗号隔开的句子，AS在这里的作用更类似连词，连接一个主句和一个从句）

注意AS有时不表比较的如as you word hard, you will pass the exam.表原因了。

There be 句型等同于一般的主谓宾俱全的句型 OG89 There is one PC for every 32 pupils in American four time as many as there were four years ago(主语比较) There is one PC for every 32 pupils in American four time as many as DVD player(宾语比较) There is one PC for every 32 pupils in American four time as many as for school teachers.(介宾比交) There is one PC for every 32 pupils in American four time as many as in china(介宾比较)

以上的钢领代入EST的OG几乎都成立，在我这次实战中也成立，但GWD中有一题是例外的，也就是说并没有放之四海而皆准的真理，清楚，简洁，合理才是ETS的最高宗旨。

我的解释是自己做题做出的感觉
首先,看全句,找逻辑主语,你读一遍句子,很容易发现它的逻辑主语是落在"MUCH HIGHER"上的,他们对比的是速度的快慢,而不是速度本身,主语的几大公司合并的目的是在于提审速度的快慢上.

对于THOSE的插入,我觉得没必要,不管合并后的大公司,还是一般的小公司,因为它们的对象是CUSTOMERS.
因为你的THOSE代入句子中,是指代CUSTOMERS.
对于同一个物体的对比,THOSE放在后面是没必要的,应该省略.
THOSE在对比的句型中还蛮少出现的,除非强调它是物体B,与前面对比的A物体不一样:

比如说:GWD94,它说经济衰退使得商业杂志和一般的消费杂志的广告收入下降,特别是对IF THOSE FOCUSING ON TECHNOLOGY.

OG 112, domestic automobile manufacturers have invested millions of dollars in research to develop cars even more gasoline-efficient than those at present on the road.

补充一下:好象公理有一句是THIS, THOSE, THESE最好不要指代前面对比的物体.
THAT可以指代单数名词.
如果对比的物体是一样的,THOSE就没有出来指代的必要了吧.
如果改成你那样的句子话,逻辑中心也转移到SPEED上了吧
我个人觉得,SC是看整体的结构比较重要,找准逻辑主语也很重要.
