who lives the farthest from school of the three?
问题描述：
who lives the farthest from school of the three?
这里的of the three后面为什么可以省略名词,即为什么可以把of the three student变为of the three?
答
of the three 这三个中啊
本来是 of the three students ,但是前面的文章中可能已经出现过 the three students ,所以后面为了简洁,就省略了可是这是一道填空题，没有上文thethree 这里的the 已经特指了，也可以这样用 比如 the three 就指三个人没问题 The three slowly approach the gate. 三个人缓慢地走近大门。Officials said the three died of asphyxiation. 官员们说，三人因窒息而死亡。
