平行結(jié)構(gòu)與比較級(jí)
平行結(jié)構(gòu)很多情況下是由形容詞或副詞的比較級(jí)或者暗含比較意味的連詞引導(dǎo)的。如：
The ideal listener stays both inside and outside the music at the moment it is played and enjoys it almost as much as the composer at the moment he composes.
大多數(shù)情況下平行結(jié)構(gòu)都是具有一定的比較含義的，有的是遞進(jìn)對(duì)比not only…but(also);prefer…to…;rather than有的是同類對(duì)比:and ;but;or;both… and…;either…or…;neither…nor………
平行結(jié)構(gòu)測(cè)試時(shí)候注意以下幾點(diǎn)：
1、注意比較結(jié)構(gòu)中相比較的內(nèi)容在語(yǔ)法形式上是否相同。如：
It is better to die one's feet than .
[A]living on one's knees [B]live on one's knees
[C]on one's knees [D]to live on one's knees
(答案為D)
Despite the temporary difficulties，the manager prefers increasing the output to decreasing it.
2、其他具有并列或比較意義的短語(yǔ)也可引導(dǎo)平行結(jié)構(gòu)。
1)rather than，let alone 雖不是并列連詞，但在結(jié)構(gòu)上連接兩個(gè)語(yǔ)法形式相同的成分。如：
We are taught that a business letter should be written in a formal style in a personal style.
[A]rather than [B]other than [C]better than [D]less than
答案為A
For the new country to survive，for its people to enjoy prosperity，new economic policies will be required.
[A]to name a few [B]let alone [C]not to speak [D]let's say
(答案為B)
2)如果平行的兩個(gè)成分在形式上是介詞短語(yǔ)，而且介詞相同，一般說(shuō)來(lái)第二個(gè)介詞不要省略。如：
At times，more care goes into the composition of newspaper and magazine advertisements than into the writing of the features and editorials.
