Question

下面这句话中to him than she was,she 后面跟一个系动词就戛然而止了,为什么?

Answer 1

to him与 than she was没有联系,to him是“对他来说”的意思,只与which seemed to be more important发生联系.

这句话句末省略了important.即：which seemed to be more important to him than she was important.

比较状语从句中常常这样省略.又如：

I'm taller than you are (tall).

甚至把are都省略,说成：

I'm taller than you.
