好题分享(57):《剑桥英语语法》例句辨析(涉及than what)

《剑桥英语语法》p 1118 例句:

Kim lost more at the races in one day than I earned at my job in a year.

我将此句略作改动:

Kim lost more at the races yesterday than what I earned at my job in a year.

请问此句是否正确?

主句中的 more 为比较项,它在比较分句中的对应项原则上应省略,所以正确且无争议的表达是:

Kim lost more at the races yesterday than I earned at my job in a year.(标准用法)

至于在 than 后面加上 what,比较分句就没有缺省项了,在口语或某些方言中有人这样用,但不算规范用法:

Kim lost more at the races yesterday than what I earned at my job in a year.(非标准用法)
