TN-17-28 (SC)

GWD26-Q28
Traffic safety officials predict that drivers will be equally likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as the current one.
A.        equally likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as
B.        equally likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as they are
C.        equally likely that they will exceed the proposed speed limit as
D.        as likely that they will exceed the proposed speed limit as
E.        as likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as they are

想请问一个关于省略的用法。
按照正确答案,补全省略的谓语后,是否应该为:
as likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as they are (exceeding) the current one?
什么时候该省略主语,什么时候省略谓语动词呢?

是的,补得正确。

省略是要看省略后,可不可以沿用前面没有省略的部份。这并没有什么通则的,主要是看省略后的感觉。例如这题如果省略成:
Traffic safety officials predict that drivers will be as likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as the current one 就感觉不对,因为 the current one 意义不清楚,说不定是主语,与 drivers 对照。正是为此,所以要像 E 那样补加 they are。

省略是很复杂的现象。要掌握得好,唯一的方法是多看书。

我觉得把就是省略的不会看不明白句子的意思就好,就是省略之后不会产生歧义,是这个尺度么a大?
