请问 than 后面可能接 if 引导的从句吗?比如:
If we eat out too often, the cost of living will be much higher than if we eat at home.
我总觉得句子中的 than if 用得有点怪。请问这样的 than if 用得对吗?请教各位专家老师!
曾老师:
你提供的句子是对的。than可作连词或介词,用于连接两个对比成分。如:
He is taller than Tom. 他比汤姆个子高。(主语He与Tom对比)
Jack plays more than works. 杰克玩得多,工作得少。(谓语plays与works对比)
Rob likes apples more than bananas. 罗勃对苹果比对香蕉还喜欢。(宾语apples与bananas对比)
She works better alone than when she is with her sister. 她单独工作比跟她姊姊一起工作来得更好。(状语alone与when she is with her sister对比)
▲你的这个句子是than连接两个if从句,是状语的对比,改为下面的顺序会更直观一些:
The cost of living will be much higher if we eat out too often than if we eat at home.
