这个the poor poorer是什么意思

 

有这样一道题:

In some western countries,the rich are becoming richer,and __________.

A. the poor the poor                            B. poor poor     

C.the poor poorer                               D. poorer the poor

此题应选C。这是一个省略句,若补充完整应为:

In some western countries,the rich are becoming richer,and the poor are becoming poorer. 在有些西方国家,富人变得更富,而穷人则变得更穷。

前后两句谓语相同,后句承前省略。类似的有:

1. I am a teacher and my sister a nurse. 我是老师我姐姐是护士。

(...my sister a nurse=...my sister is a nurse)

2. John won the first race and Mick the second. 约翰赢了第一场比赛,米克赢了第二场比赛。

(...and Mick the second = ...and Mick won the second race)

3. In the accident the son was wounded,but the mother killed. 在事故中,儿子受伤,母亲丧命。(...but the mother killed=...but the mother was killed)

有时若后句的主语和宾语等与前句相同,则可一起省去:

4. He did it and quite successfully too at the beginning. 他这样做了,而且一开始就很成功。(=He did it and he did it quite successfully too at the beginning. )
