最佳答案 2021-01-31 11:07
To cut taxes would probably do the economy more harm than good.
这种省略的比较结构，已经成为固定用法，在实际语言中一般是省略的。不过从语法角度分析省略，完整的句子应是：
To cut taxes would probably do the economy more harm than it would do the economy good.
Smoking does more harm than good.
= Smoking does more harm than it does good.
The treatment they gave him did him more harm than good.
= The treatment they gave him did him more harm than it did him good.
【补充解答】
1. “比较” 的概念范围非常广泛。可以发生在两个人或事物之间，去比较同一个事项。例如：汤姆和约翰比较谁更聪明。
Tom is not so clever as John. 汤姆不如约翰聪明。
Tom is more clever than John. 汤姆比约翰聪明。
以上两句，都可以补充完整：
Tom is not so clever as John is.
Tom is more clever than John is.
2. 比较还可以发生在同一个人或同一个事物身上，去比较两个不同的事项。这样的比较就叫“择比”，它仍然是比较的一种。
实际上，择比可以用于 as (so)...as...，也可以用 于more...than...。例如：汤姆自身两种品质的比较（这就是选择比较，也叫择比）。
Tom is not so clever as hardworking.
汤姆与其说聪明，不如说勤奋。
Tom is more clever than hardworking.
汤姆与其说勤奋，不如说聪明。
以上两句，都可以补充完整：
Tom is not so clever as he is hardworking.
Tom is more clever than he is hardworking.
