1. Besides, we’re all taxpayers so the more we earn the more tax we have to pay to those who govern us.
除此之外, 我们都是纳税人, 因此, 我们挣的钱越多, 就要向管理我们的政府缴更多的税
剖析:这是一个由so连接的并列句, 第一个并列分句是we’re all taxpayers , 第二个并列分句是 the more we earn the more tax we have to pay to those..., 其中包含一个固定结构the more..., the more..., who govern us是定语从句, 修饰those。
拓展:辨析the more...the more...和more and more:
虽然同是形容词的比较级, 但是两个有不同含义。
the more...the more...“越……越……”, 表示两个过程按比例同时递增。前一个the more...结构为分句, 后一个the more...结构为主句;通常是从句在前, 主句在后。这种结构往往有省略。如:
The sooner you start, the more quickly you’ll finish it.
=If you start sooner, you will finish it more quickly.
你开始得越早, 结束得就越快。
more and more...“越来越……”,表示一个过程的不断增长。如:
As he walked on, he felt himself getting more and more tired.
他继续往前走的时候,感到越来越疲乏。
