    More than的用法

    A. “More than+名词”表示“多于……”、“非但……尤其是”如:

    1)  Modern science is more than a large amount of information.

    2)  Jason is more than a lecturer; he is a writer, too.


    ● B. “More than+数词”含“以上”或“不止”之意,如:

    3)   I have known David for more than 20 years.

    4)  Let's carry out the test with more than the sample copy.


     
     
    ● C. “More than+形容词”等于“很”或“非常”的意思,如:

    5)  In doing scientific experiments, one must be more than careful with the instruments.

    6)  I assure you I am more than glad to help you.
     
     

     

    ● D. 在“More...than...”中,肯定“more”后面的而否定“than”后面的,约等于“是……而不是……”如:

    7)  The difference between pure linguistics and applied linguistics is more apparent than real.

    8)  This book seems to be more a manual than a text.

    9)  Catherine is more diligent than intelli-gent.

    10)  Hearing the loud noise, the boy was more surprised than frightened.
     
     
    ● F. “No more...than...”表示“不……;不如……”,如:

    14) I can no more do that than anyone else.

    15) A learner can no more obtain knowledge without reading than a farmer can get good harvest without ploughing.”

    “No more…...than...”的语义,也可用“not any more than...”来取代,因此 15 可以变成 16。
     
     
    16)  A learner cannot... any more than ...”同样的, 17可以变成 18:

    17)  Dr Hu is no more a poet than Dr Wu is a philosopher.

    18)   Dr Hu is not a poet any more than Dr Wu is a philosopher.


    此外,“more than”也在一些惯用语中出现,如:


    19)  More offen than not (经常),people tend to pay attention to what they can take rather than what they can give.

    20)  All of us are more than a little concerned about(非常关心)the current economic problems.
