※ 引述《likeit (Epi)》之铭言：
: 22.[ Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon than are fungi,]
: in the form of carbon dioxide, and converting it to energy-rich sugars.
: (A) Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon than are fungi,
: (B) Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon than fungi,
: (C) Plants are more efficient than fungi at acquiring carbon,
: (D) Plants, more efficient than fungi at acquiring carbon,
: (E) Plants acquire carbon more efficiently than fungi,
: 虽然知道选对了答案C
: 但是对选项A仍有疑惑
: 如果今天把are和fungi的位置对调 改成如下：
: Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon than fungi are
: 是否就能变成正确答案呢?(也就是说A的写法本来就有误)
: 但以下句子两个都对:
: I know more about shakespeare than my brother does
: I know more about shakespeare than does my brother
: 如果A错的话
: 代表be动词不能像助动词一样调换位置?
其实这题的比较结构比较对象是在比主词, 补出be动词是helping verb,
至于要不要倒装, 这不是对错（correctness）问题, 而是好坏(clarify)问题,
这题并没有在考, 所以A/C可以看修饰语, in the form of carbon dioxide修饰
对象为何那个比较合理.
: 还是A选项没有错...只是因为C选项比较好?
C选项确实比较好, 若没看到修饰语, 可能要了解C是比较结构的由轻到重结构,
会把修饰语at acquiring carbon摆在句尾, 这是标准英文的漂亮写法.
如果正常写的话会是：
Plants are more efficient (at acquiring carbon) than fungi are.
其实对照A选项就看得出差别了.
