1.“more than+名词”表示“非但……尤其是”。如: Jack is more than a teacher, he is a writer, too. 杰克不但是一名教师,更是一名作家。 2.“more than+数词”含“以上”或“不止”之意,相当于over。如: I have known her for more than 4 years. 我已经认识她4年了。 The old man is more than seventy years old. 那老人已经70多岁了。 注意:more than one做主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。 More than one person was injured.不止一个人受伤。 3.“More than+形容词”等于“很”或“非常”的意思。如: In doing scientific experiments, one must be more than careful with the instruments. 在做科学实验的时候,一定要非常小心实验设备。 I am more than glad to meet you. 我非常高兴见到你。 4.在“more...than...”中,肯定“more”后面的而否定“than”后面的,意为“与其……不如……”,表示一个人作两种不同性质的比较时,原来加er的比较级一律改为前加more, than后可接名词、形容词、数词、动词和从句。如: My brother is more stupid than clever. 我弟弟是愚蠢而非聪明。 She is more a teacher than a scholar.与其说她是学者不如说她是老师。 5.“More than”+含“can”的分句时表示否定意思。如: That's more than I can afford.那我承受不了。 Don't want more than you can eat up. 吃不了就无需要太多。 6.“No more...than...”表示“不……;不如……”。如: I can no more do that than anyone else. 我做的不如其他任何人。 7.“more than”也在一些惯用语中出现。如: more often than not 经常 People tend to pay attention to what they can take more than what they can give. 通常,人们只关注他们所得到的而不是他们所付出的。 (文/王超;英语辅导报小学教师版04~05学年第19期;版权归英语辅导报社所有,独家网络合作伙伴新浪教育,未经许可,不得以任何形式进行转载。) |
