4 than从句的省略分析
He finds teaching more interesting than he’d ever dreamed.
请问句子中的 than 从句有何省略？是什么跟什么比较？所谓的比较对应项是什么？

现根据我的理解，补全此句：
He finds teaching more interesting than he'd ever dreamed (that teaching could have been interesting).
比较的是教学的有趣程度。这句意思是：他发现教书比他过去所梦想的更有意思。
我在过去学习中自己总结的方法是：than 句式中当dream 后没有of 时，省略的是宾语从句，比较对象一般看作是形容词/副词。
例句：
1. It was a little more blunt than I had dreamed. （补全为...than I had dreamed that it could have been blunt)
2. And though the celebrity sightings were less numerous than I had dreamed, the display of fruit on the chest in our room was like nothing I'd ever seen. (补全：than I had dreamed that the celebrity sightings had been numerous.)
当than 从句的dream 后有of 时，显然省略的不是从句，而是名词结构或代词。比较对象为名词结构或代词。
例句:
1. Soon I will have more power than I have dreamed of in a very long time.
补全该句为：Soon I will have more power than (the power) I have dreamed of in a very long time.
2. Is not the coming of the fox-colored sparrow something more earnest and significant than I have dreamed of?
补全该句为：Is not the coming of the fox-colored sparrow something more earnest and significant than (the thing/what) I have dreamed of?
3. There was more behind his unhappiness than I had dreamed of. (比较对象为代词more)
补全该句为：There was more behind his unhappiness than (what) I had dreamed of （behind his unhappiness).
