It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.想问下这句话里面的语法是怎么回事?
我印象中有固定搭配 it is better to do than do,可这个地方怎么用to do,我查了一下than结构前后比较成分一致,上面的句子主语是 to do die on your feet 所以 than 后面也应该是to do的形式.那现在又有了疑问 it is better to do than do该怎么解释?
答
这两个都可以,than 要求前后一致,但可以看成下面两个情况：
看断开的地方来理
It's better to ( do A ) than ( do B.)
It's better ( to do A ) than ( to do B.)
这样看的话,两种说法中,than两边结构的都是一致的.谢谢，be better to do和it作为形式主语主语的区别
