翻译并解释一下这两个题

翻译并解释一下这两个题1.In no circumstances can more work be got out of a machine than_____.
A.to put into it B.be put into it
C.is put into it D.that is to be put into it

2.He often sat in a small pub drinking considerably more than______.
A.was good for his health
B.his health was good
C.was in good health
D.his good health

Answer 1

第一题:全句是：In no circumstances can more work be got out of a machine than WHAT is put into it. 在任何情况下都不能得到比投入的更多的工作“what”被省略。

第二题:He often sat in a small bar drinking considerably more than was good for his health.他经常坐在酒吧喝酒,量太多以至于危害他的身体.

但从上下文中很难找出省去的主语,有的语法学家和学者就把as/than看作关系代词充当从句的主语;有的则把as/than看作连词,从句省略主语it.人们往往采取灵活的方法分析此类句子.
More people died of flu than (相当于the people +that) died in the war .死于流感人要多于死于战争的人.
In the case of women ,the idealised body shape is thin —thinner than average and some health experts would say ,thinner than ( it ) is healthy .在女性中,理想的身材是瘦.一些专家会说比应有健康还要瘦.

C A

Answer 2

1B than 前后连接相同的成分（词性或结构相同），主语为more work,并列的部分为can be got out of a machine和can be put into it.省略相同的情态动词，应该选B
2C 他坐在小酒馆里喝酒比健康时更频繁。more than 前后连接相同成分，如果并列的是句子，则保持主语一致，明显排除AB，D是个名词短语，语法而言或许可以加在than之后，但句意不通
