The director-general of the ministry of education says he knows more than 80% of head teachers by name.
请问这里的by name是什么意思?作head teachers的定语吗?还是know的状语?
We would have taken any way rather than this,but it was late and growing dark,and the railroad bridge was a short way to get home.老师,than引导比较状语从句,但rather又如何理解?
