我看了大量的题目,发现有这样的规律:如果主从句的主语为比较对象,从句部分引出第二个主语(即不
同于第一个主语的被比较对象)的时候,用倒装语序省略形式。想必是为了强调第二个被引出的主语。
如:1。The mistakes children make in learning to speak tell linguists more about how children
learn language than do the correct forms they use.孩子们在学习说话过程中所犯的错误比起他们所使用的正确方式更能告诉语言学家孩子们是怎样学习语言的。 2。In the united states,trade unions encountered far more intense opposition in their struggle for social legitimacy than did the organized labor movements of most other democratic notions. 3。Freedman's survey showed that people living in small towns and rural areas consider themselves no happier than do people living in big cities.
而当主从句主语相同,比较的是同一主语的不同时期动作或情况时,用正常语序,为了强调该不相同的动作。 如:1.Never before in the history of music have musical superstars been able to command such extraordinary fees as they do today.
----不过,我对于这里为什么用DO而不用ARE感到不理解,大家一起来讨论。 |
