Was it as serious as had been read in the newspapers?
请教曹老师,这里的 as 从句为什么没有主语呢?如何分析比较对应项?
谢谢!
Was it as serious as had been read in the newspapers?
as比较分句省略了形式主语it和that引导的真正主语从句。我将as分句补全,你就可以看出比较对应项了。
Was it as serious as it had been read in the newspaper that it was.
这个句子中有三个it,第一个和第三个it为人称代词,指代前文提到的那件事,第二个it为as比较分句的形式主语,真正主语是其后的that从句。比较对应项为that从句的表语,必须省略。
比较分句在满足以下二种条件的情况下,可以省略主语而保留谓语或谓语一部分:
1 比较对应项为比较分句的主语(此时主语必须省略);
2 比较分句的主语为形式主语it,真正主语从句外置(比较对应项省略后的空缺为主语从句的某个成分)。此时形式主语it和外置主语从句要么同时省略,要么都不省略。
