簡(jiǎn)簡(jiǎn)單單的“more than”,用法可多呢!

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:

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:

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.
