3 分析:What better than to ride on a piece of history!

After spending some time looking at all the defensive equipment at the wall, we decided it was time for some action and what better than to ride on a piece of history!

上面一句摘自2021年高考的全国甲卷(全国2卷)的语法填空。请问最后一句中的what better than to ride on a piece of history 如何理解和分析?重点是 what better than 的理解,它是什么结构的省略用法吗?

同意王老师的解答。其实网友可以简单地将其视为一个句型来学习(不必分析句子成分和补全句子结构)!

What+比较级+than…=有什么比……更……的呢

为了帮助网友掌握这类句式,下面举一些比较简单的句子,供理解和模仿(句末可用问号、感叹句或句号,但以用问号较为普遍):

What better than a cold drink? 有什么比来一杯冷饮更畅快的呢?

What better than a long soak in a hot bath? 有什么比好好地泡个热水澡更舒服呢?

What better than to play football after school? 有什么比放学后踢足球更有意思呢?

What better than to sit on the sofa watching TV? 有什么比坐在沙发上看电视更舒服呢?

What better than to beat someone who’s playing well? 有什么比打败高手更畅快呢?

What greater than a mother’s love for her children? 有什么比母亲对孩子的爱更伟大呢?

What more important to me than my family! 对我来说,有没有什么比家庭更重要呢!

除了 what 外,who 也有类似用法。如:

Who better than you? 有谁比你更好呢?

Who cleverer than Jim? 有谁比吉姆更聪明呢?

Who better to do it than the secretary? 有谁比秘书更适合做这事呢?

Who better to help us than our teacher? 有谁比我们老师更适合来帮助我们呢?

Who more important than you? 有谁比你更重要呢?

我理解这是由一个习语演变而来的,属于具有修辞作用的一种句型。请看这句:

What better way to study diabetes than to actually have it.

大概意思是要研究糖尿病,没有比亲身体验会更好的办法了。问题句写完整为:

What (is a) better way than to ride on a piece of history! 

大概意思是:没有比骑行看历史更好了。英语中类似的表达还有:

1. What better way to do it than to meet someone who was born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

2. Who better to capitalize on that media market than you yourselves.
