deserved better是有所省略吗

"Well, I am glad from my heart that you are here, for indeed the responsibility and the mystery were both becoming too much for my nerves. 

But how in the name of wonder did you come here, and what have you been doing? I thought that you were in Baker Street working out that case of blackmailing."

"That was what I wished you to think."

"Then you use me, and yet do not trust me!" I cried with some bitterness. "I think that I have deserved better at your hands, Holmes."

为什么是deserved better?这里是有所省略吗?deserve后不是要接名词吗?

better可以是名词。例如:a change for the better.

这里deserve为及物动词,better是名词作宾语。

《韦氏词典》名词better释义之一:= something better

例句:I expected better from them.

不是省略。deserve 可以及物,也可以不及物。指某人因行为,品质,才干而 “应受,应得” 到奖赏、待遇、批评、惩罚等。

deserve better:理应得到更好的对待/礼遇/待遇。
