各位好，请教一下
英语论坛中，网友Tdol说
Sometimes writers fatten up sentences with unnecessarily complex vocabulary
or structures to show off their knowledge instead of communicating their
meaning as clearly as possible to as many people as they can. Simple
communication is often the hardest- showing-off is easy.
想请问，倒数第二行的as many people as they can，后面省略了什么重复的字呢？
我推测是：... to as many people as they can (communicate with).
请问各位看法如何呢？

这问题其实是来自于这里https://goo.gl/uR2rER，可是因为没人回应，
我只好再开一个新主题。有兴趣的朋友可以再看#7的回应，以及我#9的回答。
