The population of China is larger than ( ) of America.
这个句子括号位置只能用 that 吗? 为什么不能用 it 代替?
这里用that,不用it。it表“同一事物”;that表“同类事物”,它们的复数形式分别为them和those。比较:
The book must be there, or else you've lost it. 书一定在那儿,要不然就是你把它丢了。(it就是前面的the book,是“同一”)
These trips were strenuous, and the couple did not enjoy them. 一路舟车劳顿,这对夫妇玩得并不开心。(them是前面的these trips,是“同一”)
The weather in Guilin is quite different from that in Beijing. 桂林的天气与北京的天气大不相同。(两地的天气是“同类”,不是“同一”)
The squids are bigger than those I bought last week. 这些鱿鱼比我上周买的大。(两种鱿鱼是“同类”,不是“同一”)
