1. On economic policy, Ms. Roy has even less to offer other than to slam recent governments for aspiring to rapid economic growth.
这里less为什么词性呢?even为形容词,less为代词吗?还是even为副词less为形容词?
2. PRON Less is also pronoun.较少
Borrowers are striving to ease their financial position by spending less and saving more.
词典指出在这里less为代词,在这里less如果为副词是否说的通呢?
3. He slept even less than expected at night.
这里主从句主语一致省略了he
4. He wished he could have helped her more than he did.
这里did是代替helped her吧?但是这里he为什么不省略呢?
1 has为及物动词,必须后接宾语,所以less无疑是代词。
2 spend为及物动词,less为spend的宾语,所以less在此也是代词。
3 你对这个比较分局的省略理解错误。than后省略的是形式主语it和外置的that从句,然后进一步省略了助动词was。补全的比较分句为 than it was expected that he would last night.
4 这个比较分句是不能省略he。did替代谓语部分。比较分句省略主语而保留谓部分只有二种可能:1)主语为比较对应项;2 主语为嵌入分句,即形式主语it和外置的主语从句同时省略。
