关于more...than和more than结构
more...than与more than结构的用法如下:1. more...than可比较两个不同的人或物。如:
The concert was more enjoyable than the lecture. 这个音乐会比那个讲座好。
The living-room is larger than the dining room. 起居室比餐厅大。
也可比较同一个人或事物的两个方面。如:
John is more daring than quick-witted. 与其说约翰脑子灵,不如说他胆子大。
He is more lazy than slow at his work. 与其说他工作慢,还不如说他懒。
当同一人或事物的两个方面相比较时,只能用more / less, 不能用-er。如:
He is more good than bad. 他不是坏而是好。
2.more...than的变体形式是:形容词比较级+名词+than。如:
Tom is a more efficient worker than Jack. 汤姆的工作效率比杰克高。
My brother has a larger house than mine. 我哥哥的房子比我的大。
也可用名词+more...than。如:
Tom is a worker more efficient than Jack.
3.more...than 的否定式可用less...than,或not so/as...as。如:
This car runs less fast than that one. 这辆车没有那辆车快。也可说:
This car doesn’t run so/ as fast as that one.
有时less...than听起来不够自然,也可用原句中形容词或副词反义词的比较级+than来表示,但含义有区别。如:
Bill speaks French less well than he writes it.
Bill speaks French worse than he writes it.
第一句的含义是,Bill的法语写得好,说得没有写得好;第二句的含义则是,Bill的法语写得不好,说得更不好。
4.more than 之后可接名词、动名词、动词、形容词、副词等,表示“超过、胜过、多于、以上”。如:
We have known each other for more than 10 years. 我们相识已超过10年了。
We like football more than swimming. 我们喜爱足球胜过游泳。
注意more than的否定概念。如:
My trip to Beijing is more than sightseeing.
我到北京不仅仅是为了观光。
That is more than I can express. 那远远不是我所能表达的。
5. not more than 等于at most, 表示“不超过,至多”。如:
John is not better than Tom. 约翰不比汤姆好。
He has not more than five dollars in his pocket. 他口袋里至多5美元。
6.no more than 等于nothing more than, 表示“仅仅,只有”。如:
He has no more than two friends in Beijing. 他在北京只有两个朋友。
John is no better than Tom. 约翰比汤姆好不了多少(含义:两个人都不好)。
7.no more...than...等于neither...nor..., 表示“与……一样不是…”。如:
I can no more play foootball than you. 我和你一样不会踢球。
A whale is no more a fish than a horse is. 马不是鱼,鲸同样不是鱼。
