City dweller have a higher death rate than country people do.

五、引导比较状语从句且在从句中充当成分
有时可引导一个从句并在从句中充当句子成分(主语、宾语、表语),为便于理解,有时可视为than后省略了what:
We don’t want to do more than is necessary. 我们不想做不必要的事情。
The pain was almost more than he could bear. 这样的痛苦几乎使他受不了。
She’s not a very good manager she always spends more money than she earns. 她不大会理财——总是入不敷出。
Life here is much easier than it used to be. 如今在此地生活比起从前可舒服多了。
比较下面一句,than后的expected为省略结构:
He returned three days earlier than (he was) expected. 他回来得比预料的要早三天。
六、后接时间或条件状语从句
若语义需要,有时其后可接when引导的时间状语从句以及if 引导的条件状语从句。如:
You are a little fatter than when I saw you last. 你比我上次见你时胖点了。
Joe carries only nine pounds more than when he was twenty. 乔比他20岁时只重了九磅。
They work better together than if they are alone. 他们一起干比他们单干效果要好。
