2021年重庆中考阅读E篇有这么一道题:
Unluckily, almost every green technology is more expensive than that of using gasoline.
请问老师,这句话的表述正确吗?that 是否指 technology?
句子没有问题,that 就是指 technology。
Unluckily, almost every green technology is more expensive than that of using gasoline.
=Unluckily, almost every green technology is more expensive than the technology of using gasoline.
类似的例子如:
She must be prepared for a harder task than that of rushing away while resolution was fresh.
你可能是认为上面句子中的 than that of…与下面这类常见的用法不一样:
The freezing point of alcohol is much lower than that of water.
The population of New York is greater than that of Chicago.
其实两者中的 that 都是替代词。
