比较结构
1-9:避免错误比较
“主语+介词短语”或“所有格+主语”极易形成对象的错误比较,应予避免。
例:people in america lead a much better life than developing countries(x)
people是人,developing countries是地方,故形成对象的错误比较。
改正:
people in america lead a much better life than those in developing countries.(o)
(美国人民比发展中国家的人民生活富足。)
his car is better than his friends.(x)
car为物,his friends为人,比较对象错误。
改正:
his car is better than (his friends./those of his friends.)
(他的车子比他朋友们的好。)
注意
使用that或those做代词时,that代替单数的名词(或不可数名词),those则代替复数的名词。
例:i have found that john's interest in english is greater than that of his classmate peter.
(我发现约翰对英语的兴趣要比他同学彼得高。)
the stamps he has collected are more exotic than those peter has collected.
(他收集的邮票比彼得收集的要奇特。)
