替代中,food和the food在than比较分句中含义有何不同


The slaves were given worse food than that for their masters' dogs.  (=The slaves were given food worse than that for their masters' dogs.)

比较项是worse 还是 worse food?

than分句改写补全是The slaves were given worse food than that for their masters' dogs was 吗?

句中that=the food, 我的疑问是原句可否去掉the, 而变成The slaves were given worse food than food for their masters' dogs ? 为什么呢?

主句的比较项为worse,不是worse food.

你的补全是正确的,但要知道补全只是语法上的解释,实际是无须补全的,因为比较分句采用缩减形式(即省略和替代)是常规而不是例外。

that在此是替代词,替代一个特征名词,所以必须是the food, 而不是food. 即主人家的狗吃的食物,这是特指的食物。
