桌上现有五个苹果,我昨天吃了三个。所以我想表达桌子上的苹果比我吃的多。我这样说:
There are five apples on that table, more than i ate yesterday.
这样对吗?
类似的一个,10%的增长带来200万年增量,比一年前20%的还多。这样说:
10% growth can bring a yearly expansion of 2 million dolloars , more than 20% one (did)the previous year.
1. There are five apples on that table, more than I ate yesterday.
—— 这个句子本身没错。意思是:现在那张桌子上有五个苹果,比我昨天吃的要多。
more than I ate yesterday 作定语修饰five apples,相当于一个非限制定语从句:which are more than I ate yesterday.
2. 10% growth can bring a yearly expansion of 2 million dolloars , more than 20% growth (did)the previous year.
—— 20% 后面的growth,不宜用one 替代,因为growth 不可数。
这两个句子,似乎没有可比性。
前者指,“5个苹果” 和“我吃的个数” 比较。
后者指,“现在10% 的增长” 与 “去年20% 的增长” 所产生的效果之间进行比较。
