2 expect better than that 中的than从句省略


FEMALE STUDENT: Well, none of us thought it was very funny.


MALE ADVISOR: Well, sometimes it's best just to roll with it.It's just a cliche.Everybody knows it's not true.


FEMALE STUDENT: But I thought we could expect better than that here.


MALE ADVISOR: Well, I'm certainly in favor of getting a variety of viewpoints.So why don't you go talk to the editor-Jennifer Hamilton- and tell her you want equal time.You or Sally can write a response.

http://ask.yygrammar.com/q-34362.html之前曹老师,已经事无巨细的解答了,than从句的省略问题,我反复拜读了好几遍,受益匪浅,但是

But I thought we could expect better than that here. 这种句型 可以归纳为 sth/sb + 谓语+ 比较级+宾语 +than+ 从句中的宾语,似乎不包含在上述解答中。希望老师您可以不厌其烦解释一下如何理解But I thought we could expect better than that here.,非常感谢。

we could expect better than that

如果你能够知道这个结构的意思,也知道这个结构没有错误,就没有必要追究这里省略了什么。语言演变过程中省略的东西,有的可以还原,有的已经不大清楚究竟省略了什么。有的语法书的还原,也可能只是作者个人的理解,未必实际情况的确如此。所以学语法也要知道什么时候应该适可而止。除非你自己有看法、有观点,那是另一回事。

就这个句子而言,expect无疑是及物动词,better 无论是good还是well的比较级,都不能作expect的宾语。所以主句本身也无疑省略了成分。省略的是什么,就看如何补全能让句子结构合理。我提出一种补全:

we could expect something which is better than that is. (that为指示代词)

如果别的老师能有更好的补全,那就太好了。

其实,没有必要补全的。直接按照原句理解就足够了。
