Question

英语语法？？

Nobody was more surprised than we were when our 17 year marriage ended in divorce. 这里为什么有were? ？

Answer 1

因为主句里的was surprised （大吃一惊）中的was是系动词作谓语，后面的surprised 是过去分词作表语，more... than ...比较的是more surprised than surprised, 而we 后面应用were ，不是前面的was，所以不可省去。

Answer 2

啥意思哦？
we were 是we were surprised的省略形式啊！但be动词不能省啊！

Answer 3

同学，比较状从要清楚比较的两个对象，这里是Nobody was surprised 与we were surprised 相对较，不是Nobody was surprised与we！，前后相同的surprised,后者可省略,而were不能省，省了那比较对象变了。

Answer 4

因为than在这里的词性是从属连词，引领后面这个we were要是一个完整的clause才行。

如果不想用were的话就要用more surprised than us，这时than是作为介词的，后面要接宾格代词。

Answer 5

回答如下：
为避免重复，本句中的比较状语从句 than we were 的后面省略了过去分词surprised。
