其实我想知道的是后半句的详细句子结构：its laborers will have almost as much leisure as in earlier times was enjoyed by the aristocracy.

追答

a society 主语

in which the majority of the population， that is to say， its laborers， will have almost as much leisure as in earlier times

以上都是修饰的部分

谓语部分

哈，貌似我误人子弟了，我的答案是错误的，那个人的回答也不是正解。例子是对的，注解是错的There were more casualties than （it） was reported 。 曾被这里的百度知道高人误导说as可以作为relative pronoun或是quasi-relative pronoun，但事实上as只能作为连词，引导从句。但后面的主语或者谓语往往出于精简原则被省略。

回复 用户不存在8310：另一个你采纳为正确答案的帖子的实际上是错误的，我把问题复杂化了，不把该把主句里的成分引用到从句里。从句的那一句话是可以拿出来解释的。正解在这里http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=451946&langid=22 . 用google搜索你不懂问题的关键字。
