How is this sentence structured?
The basic pattern is:
比起 A，B 更 + adjective
So here:
- A = 在车管所取号
- B = 网上换证
- adjective = 方便
That gives:
Compared with A, B is more convenient.
More literally, the sentence is organized like this:
- 比起在车管所取号 = compared with taking a queue number at the vehicle administration office
- 网上换证 = renewing/replacing the license online
- 更方便 = is more convenient
So the sentence means something like:
Compared with going to the vehicle administration office and taking a number, renewing the license online is more convenient.
