语法 SAT
as finalists,mark and i were both shocked by the decision;it seemed to us that the winner of the contest was far less talented than we.这句话是挑错题的~句子无错误.
为什么这里than we是对的啊?
后面的解释说这里the subject pronoun is correct here..
还是不知道为什么对.
我想说。这是Princeton review上的。than we肯定是对的。但是问什么是对的啊~

楼上的回答是在我不小心没有登录的情况下提交的,因此这里以自己的ID重新提交一次.
一、在比较结构中,需要看两个比较对象在句子中充当的成分.如果是主语进行比较,那么 than 或者 as ...as 后的比较对象应该用代词的主格形式；如果是宾语进行比较,则需要用代词的宾格形式.
如本句：
* the winner of the contest was far less talented than we.
——句中的比较对象是主语 the winner of the contest 和 we
再如：
* She is a better athlete than I.与我相比,她是个更好的运动员.
——比较 对象是主语 she 和 I：
* The news surprised Pat more than me.这个消息让帕特比我更感到吃惊.
——比较对象是宾语 Pat 和 me
* I dislike no one more than her.没人比她更让我讨厌.
——比较对象是宾语 no one 和 her,
二、其实这里的 than 是连词,也就是说,than 连接的是一个省略了重复成分的比较状语,如上述的两个句子就是如此,因此可以还原为——
* the winner of the contest was far less talented than we (were talented)
* She is a better athlete than I am (a athlete).
* The news surprised Pat more than (it surprised) me
* I dislike no one more than (I dislike) her.
通过括号中的省略部分的还原,就可以确定什么时候用主格,什么时候用宾格.
三、在口语中,主语j进行比较时,人们也常常用“than+宾格”去取代主格,不过这在语法上属于非正规用法,如：
* the winner of the contest was far less talented than us.
* She is a better athlete than me.
