She has finished the work earlier than (it has been ) expected.

题目

She has finished the work earlier than (it has been ) expected.
这个句子是状语从句省略吧?那我可不可以说
She has finished the work earlier than has been expected.还是一定要it has been都省略?
There were many more people who got injured in the big fire than ___.
A.was reported B.it was reported C.were reported
D.they were reported
上课我们老师说选C,他说是指MORE PEOPLE所以是复数.如果按照省略的规律,依照答案B不是也对的吗?
那按照老师说的,D为什么不能选啊?我可以不省略啊.B也不就是A的不省略吗?
那如果我填REPORTED可不可以啊,不是把IT WAS一起省略了吗?
还有这个it has been 省略是对的,主语一致是可省略,主语是IT也可省略的.我的意思就是可不可以只省略IT,变成She has finished the work earlier than has been expected.如果不可以题目中它省略到WAS REPOTED不是错的吗?

答案

首先,表扬一下LZ 的研究精神可嘉.
第一题.it 不可省略.
在比较状语从句中,只有当主句和从句的主语一致时,才能省略从句的主语.
She has finished the work earlier than (it has been ) expected.
整句翻译成中文为：她完成这工作的时间比预期的早.
从译文中可以看出,从句的 it 指代的是,她完成这项工作的时间.
从句的时态和主句一致,所以省略的话,得省略 it has been,而不是 it
第2题,There were many more people who got injured in the big fire than ___.
你们老师的答案错了.我觉得应该是选 A.
其中将many people 和谈it作比较,it 代指实际的人数
