than 比较状语从句书上的一句话:...but on balance things have gone much better than we had any right to expect.后面的比较状语从句:than we had any right to expectexpect之后是不是省略了things(与主句的things作比较)?这有点像定语从句少了宾语.而其他的状语从句,比如时间状语从句,都没有缺少过宾语.是不是加个those,变成定语从句,会通顺一些:...but on balance things have gone much better than those we had any right to expect.希望得到详细的语法分析,

问题描述:

than 比较状语从句
书上的一句话:
...but on balance things have gone much better than we had any right to expect.
后面的比较状语从句:than we had any right to expect
expect之后是不是省略了things(与主句的things作比较)?
这有点像定语从句少了宾语.而其他的状语从句,比如时间状语从句,都没有缺少过宾语.
是不是加个those,变成定语从句,会通顺一些:
...but on balance things have gone much better than those we had any right to expect.
希望得到详细的语法分析,
