OG 198

[hjp1077]

198. Although Napoleon's army entered Russia with far more supplies than they had in their previous campaigns, it had provisions for only twenty-four days.

我想請問兩個問題:
1. 題目中 with far more supplies 是當副詞片語修飾 entered .
還是當形容詞片語修飾 army.
要如何與OG113 解釋中最後一行"副詞片語修飾動辭"區分呢?

2.本題的正確選項是(E) for any previous campaign 解釋中說到
此介係詞片語是聰明地表達.
但想請問若不使用片語而使用句子的話.是否為:
than it had had for any previous campaign,

198. Although Napoleon's army entered Russia with far more supplies than they had in their previous campaigns, it had provisions for only twenty-four days.

(A)they had in their previous campaigns
(B)their previous campaigns had had
(C)they had for any previous campaign
(D)in their previous campaigns
(E)for any previous campaign (A)


If than is followed by a clause referring to army, the subject of that clause must be singular (it). Furthermore, the verb of that clause will need to be in the past perfect form (had had) because it refers to a time before the simple past of entered. Finally, the preposition/or is more precise than in because supplies are gathered/or an upcoming campaign. Choices A and C incorrectly use the plural they and the simple past had. Moreover, A uses the less precise in. Choices D and E wisely dispense with the full clause and use a simple prepositional phrase. D, however, uses the imprecise in and the plural their. Only E, the best choice, avoids all the errors mentioned above.


1. 個人覺得with~應是修飾army。

with[preposition]
having, possessing, or carrying something
■a tall gentleman with a grey beard
■a book with a green cover
■a man with a gun
■We need someone with bright new ideas.
■Only people with plenty of money can afford to shop here.
■She came back with a letter in her hand.


OG113較像以下之解釋:
used to say what position or state someone or something is in, or what is happening, when someone does something
■She stood with her back to me.
■We lay in bed with the window open.
■She was knitting, with the television on.
with somebody/something doing something
■We jumped into the water with bullets whizzing past our ears.

2. 原句應為：
Although Napoleon's army entered Russia with far more supplies than (supplies) that it had had for any previous campaign， it had provisions for only twenty-four days.

比較標的應為不同時間點的補給品，如同132(people), 187(americans)相同名詞比較可省略而that子句僅為補充說明。

歡迎討論!

198. Although Napoleon's army entered Russia with far more supplies than they had in their previous campaigns, it had provisions for only twenty-four days.
(A) they had in their previous campaigns
(B) their previous campaigns had had
(C) they had for any previous campaign
(D) in their previous campaigns
(E) for any previous campaign
Ans:E
照CD上的 講法及我個人的 理解,我覺得 原句若要補全應該是Although Napoleon's army entered Russia with far more supplies than(supplies) for any previous campaign, it had provisions for only twenty-four days.
但我想問的是若是按照庖丁解牛上的 分類
主語比較：A do sth than B do.（AB為對等名詞，加do是為了顯示這是一個可以發出動作的名詞，因而確定是主語，進而確定是主語對比）
介賓比較 A do sth of C1 by D1 than of C2 by D2.（C1C2，D1D2對等名詞）
賓語比較 A do C1 than C2.(C1C2為對等名詞）
狀語比較A do sth than usual/everbefore/people expected(直接加狀語）
那本題應該算是那種句型結構的 比較呢 ?

[dibert8]

這句是比較 supplies, 名詞相同省略.比較發生在 with 片語裡. ... with far more supplies than (supplies) for any pervious compaign.

這題有個技巧: they 無所代,用 they/ their 的選項全部錯.
