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)  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.
  ● e. “more than”或“more……than……”+含“can”的分句时表示“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。
