than比较从句省略主语的句子分析

I have better things to do than play games all day.

请问这个句子算是than比较从句省略主语的例子吗？

从句中的比较对应项是主语吗？如何分析和补充？

谢谢！

I have better things to do than play games all day.

这个句子不能算than比较从句省略主语。因为 than 后面的动词有时也可以改为 doing 的，如果是省略主语，后面不可能是 doing 作谓语吧。比如你的句子也可写成：

I have better things to do than playing games all day.

▲可以把 have better things to do than do / doing 当作句型看待（用do比用doing更普通）。如：

I’ve far better things to do than waste my breath arguing. 我不会徒费唇舌辩论的，我还有更有意义的事情要做呢。

I’ve got better things to do than stand here chatting all day! 我有更重要的事情要做，而不是整天站在这儿聊天。

He said, rather hurtfully, that he had better things to do than come and see me. 他相当刻薄地说来看我还不如去干别的事。

I have better things to do than watching television. 我有比看电视更重要的事要做。

▲以上句式有时也可说成 have nothing better to do than do。如：

Have you got nothing better to do than sit there playing that silly game? 你光坐着玩那个破游戏，就找不到更好的事情来做吗？

注：这类比较短语通常无法补全为比较分句。
