"A woman's reaction in any crisis," the major says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has. And that last ounce is what really counts."
he has that ounce more of control than a woman has.这句什么结构?ounce是名词作定语?还是more of 作定语修饰ounce?
"A woman's reaction in any crisis," the major says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has. And that last ounce is what really counts."
【翻译】少校说,“女人遇到危险时的反应就是尖叫。虽然男人可能会有这种感觉,但比女人有那么一点更多的控制力,而最后那一点才是最重要的。”
【分析】he has that ounce more of control than a woman has:这是一个含有比较状语从句的复合句。
ounce 在本句不是“盎司”,英语词汇借它表示“量小”的概念,引申为“少量;小量;一点点”之意,相当于程度副词little, bit 的用法。用在比较级前表示程度“小”。more of control 是much of control 的比较级形式,后面跟了比较连词than 引导的从句。
修饰关系如下:that 修饰ounce,that ounce 修饰more。

he has much of control 他有很强的控制力。much of control在语法结构上,much为不定代词,介词短语of control为后置定语。但在意义上,much of修饰control:很多的控制力。much可以用比较级more,He has more of control than she has. 他的控制力比她强。比较级可以被程度状语修饰,表示大多少、高多少、长多少等。表示度量的名词结构可以修饰比较级表示程度。例如 He is 5 pounds heavier than John. This rope is 2 metres longer than that one. ounce本为重量单位,为一磅的十六分之一,约为28.35克。半两多一点。非正式英语中常用ounce表示某事或某物的量很少。例如:There isn't an ounce of truth in her story.
本句中that ounce为程度状语,修饰more of control. 字面意思为多一盎司控制力,实际表达的是多了一点点控制力。
全句翻译:少校说:“在任何危急情况下,女人的反应就是尖叫。虽然男人也可能觉得想要尖叫,但男人比女人多了那一点点控制力。多出的那一点控制力正是其重要性所在。"
