英語(yǔ)四級(jí)語(yǔ)法輔導(dǎo)之More than的用法
    簡(jiǎn)簡(jiǎn)單單的“more than”,用法可多呢!
    下面是些好例子:
    A. “More than+名詞”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+數(shù)詞”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+形容詞”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,約等于“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“More……than……”+含“can”的分句時(shí)表示“否定意”,如:
    11)That’s more than I can do.
    12)Don‘t 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 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……”的語(yǔ)義,也可用“not any more than……”來(lái)取代,因此 15 可以變成 16.
    16)A learner cannot…… any more than ……“同樣的, 17可以變成 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”也在一些慣用語(yǔ)中出現(xiàn),如:
    19)More offen than not (經(jīng)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(非常關(guān)心)the current economic problems.
    總之,“more than”看似簡(jiǎn)單,其實(shí)很有內(nèi)涵,味道雋永。
