英语比较级什么情况下省略than

Answer 1

比较级中的省略成分
比较结构通常总有些成分被省略，或是在as/than-从句中省咯某些与主句相同的部分，或是省略在特定上下文或情景中某些不言而喻的部分。 最高级比较结构中的省略： 在最高级比较结构中的省略，一般有两种情况。一种是在一定上下文中省略比较范围。
Which do you think is the prettiest？ Who lives nearest to school？
另一种是省略形容词最高级后面的名词中心词，也可以说是以形容词最高级作名词词组中心词。
A：I know that kind一they aren't sweet． B：I'm sorry, they're the sweetest we've got.
有一种表示“极”、“最”意义的最高级结构，并不和他人他物相比，因而也就不存在省略问题。
I have not the slightest idea that he will come. Please accept my deepest gratitude. There is no smallest doubt．
as..as和more than比较结构中的省略：
在as/than-从句中省略了谓语的全部。
He is bigger than the boy we saw yesterday. It's prettier than mine.
在as/than-从句中省略了谓语的一部分。
The end of the movie wasn't as good as the beginning was. Mars is farther from the earth than the moon is.
有时在as/than-从句中以替代词do的某种形式代替主句的谓语部分。 George writes as neatly as John does.
They bought fewer books than the others did.
as/than-从句中的主语和替代词do也可采取倒装形式。
Some people have no doubt that their cat understands as many words as does a dog.
Nobody did more for education in this country than did the late Mr Green. 在as/than-从句中省略了主语和谓语的大部分，只剩下一个修饰成分。 The roads are much quieter here than in London.
