比较结构than后面that的省略问题

The weather in Beijing is better than in Guangdong. （错误） 应改为：

（1）The weather in Beijing is better than that in Guangdong.

（2）The weather is better in Beijing than in Guangdong.

 “比较”是发生在两个同类事物之间。具体到句子中，就是两个并列成分间的比较。原句的错误在于：主语是the weather, in Bejing作定语，那么，than后面的成分应该也是the weather in Guangdong 才对，改为句1，用that 代替weather 以避免重复；或者仍用the weather作主语，但比较的成分是两个地点状语：in Beijing 和 in Guangdong，如句2。

一、并列成分（主语之间）的比较，than 后用that 代替主语的例句：

This bread is more delicious than that in the box.  这面包比盒子里的面包好吃些。

二、并列成分（地点状语之间）比较的例句：

It's warmer outside than in this room.  外面比这间屋子里暖和。
