There were many more people who injured in the big fire than was reported.
老师们好!
1. 想问一下than was reported 省略的部分是 than what was reported还是 it was reported?
2. 以及可以顺便把was省略吗?than reported
There were many more people who injured in the big fire than was reported.
主句的比较项为many more people, 其对应性在比较分句中省略了的嵌入分句中作主语,该对应项是必须省略的。补全后的比较分句为:than it was reported that there had been. 这里it为形式主语,that从句为外置主语从句,比较对应项在that从句中作主语,必须省略。然后外置的that从句可以和形式主语同时省略,得到than was reported。但要注意,形式主语it必须和that从句同时省略,不可以只省略that从句而保留形式主语it。在than was reported中,was可以进一步省略,得到 than reported。
than what was reported是不规范的英语,应尽量避免。than it was reported是错误的。
