A study published in the British Medical Journal showed that women who ate nuts more than five times a week were about one third less likely to suffer from coronary heart disease as those who ate no nuts at all.
as those who ate
as women who ate
as those eating
than women eating
than were those who ate
women who ate were ……than women/those who ate were完美的平行。women eating were than women/those eating were才是完美的平行
前后时态一样,去掉不引起歧义,后面的were可以加可以不加,但因为两个比较内容太长隔得太远,为便于理解,were最好带上。
than those who ate no nuts at all were,those是个名词,who ate no nuts at all 是定语从句修饰those,其中who是代词作主语,这里who在从句作主语,不能省略;如果作宾语可以省略,如:than those I contacted with last week were
如SVO, like sth,到底是S like sth还是VO like V sth,错,改成S, like sth,VO
SVO than sth,错,改成SVO than sth V
SVO rather than/instead of sth,错,改成SVO rather than/instead of sth V
本题歧义:less likely to suffer from A than B
本题歧义:less likely to suffer from A than B
2.E than 后经常倒装,因为主语有从句太长,避免头重脚轻
than those who ate no nuts at all were likely to suffer from coronary heart disease.
