简简单单的more than,用法可多呢!
下面是些好例子:
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)Lets 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Morethan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.
E. More than或Morethan+含can的分句时表示否定意,如:
11)Thats more than I can do.
12) Dont bite off more than you can chew.
13)In delivering his lecture, Jason makes sure not to include more things than the students can understand.
F. No morethan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 morethan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.
总之,more than看似简单,其实很有内涵,味道隽永。
