工作学习 / 外语学习 / 请教语法问题："The elbow is closer to the point of attachment than is the wrist." 在这个句子中 than 后面的is the wrist 是倒装吗？那为什么要倒装呢？ 或者怎么用语法解释 is the wrist? 谢谢！

我觉得 是为了强调 the wrist是从句的主语，以避免歧义。如果说The elbow is closer to the point of attachment than the wrist is，别人必须读到最后一个词is才明白 你要表达的不是The elbow is closer to the point of attachment than to the wrist.

那为什么要用从句呢？如果说成“The elbow is closer to the point od attachment than the wrist." 语法上对不对呢？

对是对，但是容易产生歧义。读者可能误以为是 The elbow is closer to the point of attachment than to the wrist. 其实你想说的是 The elbow is closer to the point of attachment than the wrist is.

this sentence is wrong in terms of grammar, if you use "than" you should 倒装.

that is one of the grammar rule, similar to "which", for example, Today is warmer than is yesterday.
