One reason he isnt ruling out voting in person.
Theres a chance I could.
Cook says his biggest decision isnt who to vote for its overcoming the regret that comes with the alternative.
So I guess its better to vote than to say I just did nothing.
1)rule out doing sth 这是接动名词短语结构吧?rule out 后不可以接不定式吧?
2) its overcoming...这里it指代什么? 又为何用了主动语态和目前进行时呢?
3) 请剖析 than to say I just did nothing. than后接了不定式,这里是than to say I just did nothing 省略结构吗?
So I guess its better to vote than to say I just did nothing.
=So I guess its better to vote than (to) say I just did nothing.
