dibert8 \$m[1]:比較級 more...than 位置可以蠻機動的,也不會改變意思,主要原因在於只要比較對象相同就沒有問題.
e.g. a substitute for four quarters more than for the dollar bill 和 a substitute more for four quarters than for the dollar bill 比較的都是 for... 基本上意思無差.
必需硬梆梆比較:
(B) more as... than as...
(A) its weight, only 8.1 grams, is far less than four quarters (X)
(C) it weighs only 8.1 grams, far less than four quarters (do) (O)
(B) it weighs only 8.1 grams, far lighter than four quarters (X)
its weight, only 8.1 grams, lighter than four quarters (X)
"物體"才會有'輕重';"重量"以'大小'來論.
A dollar bill is lighter than a quarter.
The weight of a dollar bill is less than that of a quarter.
A dollar bill weighs less than a quarter (does).
偷偷補充一下! light還有"明亮"形容詞意思!
所以"歧義"
