The greater the population there is in a locality, the greater the need there is for water, transportation,and disposal of refuse.

——这是个错句,多写了两个 the(红色的多余,必须删去)。改为:

The greater population there is in a locality, the greater need there is for water, transportation,and disposal of refuse.

显而易见的是:两个 greater 都是作定语,不是表语。冠词 the 是分别限定后面名词population 和 need 的。

如果让 greater 作表语,那么这种表达,正确的形式才是:

The greater the population is in a locality, the greater the need is for water, transportation,and disposal of refuse.

这样断句不就通了吗


The greater (the population there) is in a locality, the greater (the need there) is for water, transportation, and disposal of refuse.
