A web-based survey suggested that over 70% of those surveyed were interested in travelling to space,88% wanted to spacewalk.
1. 为什么those 后直接跟了surveyed 这个动词?是省略掉了people之类的名词吗?
2.88% 直接跟了want 中间省略了一部分名词对吗?是 those surveyed吗?

答:those surveyed 是 those (people) who had been surveyed 的省略。这类用法在英语中很常见的。如:
19% of those surveyed say they haven’t decided. 被调查人当中,有19%表示他们还没有决定。
52% of those polled said Yes to devolution. 接受民意测验的人中有52%赞同权力下放。
More than half of those exposed to the virus eventually become ill. 一半以上接触过此病毒的人最终都得病了。
More than 30 of those arrested were released from jail for lack of evidence. 因证据不足,被捕的人当中有 30 多人从看守所放了出来。
其中的those也可用于事物。如:
Their aircraft were in advance of those used by the US. 他们的飞机比美国人用的要先进。
Our cars are the equal of those produced anywhere in the world. 我们的汽车可以与世界上任何地方生产的汽媲美。
2.88% 直接跟了want 中间省略了一部分名词对吗?是 those surveyed吗?
答:88%后面省略了 of them,指接受调查的人们当中的88%。原句来自新闻报道,语法上不够严谨。严格说来,88%前面应该有连词 and,要不使用独立主格结构,将 wanted 改为 wanting。
