比较句型 中 more that 的 用法 详细点
比较句型 中 more that 的 用法 详细点
是 more than 不是that
下面摘录一个讲解,很详细.
more than 是英语中常见的用于两者比较的结构,表示“超过,多于”,在这里不必赘述.本文就 more than 的其它用法归纳如下,供英语学习者参考.
  一、 more than 后跟形容词、副词、分词、动词、名词,more than 起强调作用,含义是 more than 后的形容词、副词、分词、动词、名词的分量不足以反应实际情况而加以说明,汉语意思是:“十分,非常,岂止,简直,不仅仅,绰绰有余”.例如:
  I am more than content with what you said.
  我对你的讲话十分满意.
  She was dressed more than simply.
  她穿着太朴素了.
  Being a good listener means much more than just listening with ears.
  做一个好的听者不仅仅意味着“用耳朵听”.
  Peace is much more than the absence of war.
  和平不仅仅是没有战争.
  二、 more than / more … than 跟含 can 的从句,这种结构不能照字面来翻译.more than 之后的从句里,英语里虽是肯定形式,却表示否定概念.more than … can …的结构意为“简直不可能”:“ more … than … can …”的结构意为“达到不可能的程度”.例如:
  The beauty of the place is more than I can describe.
  那个地方美得我简直不可以言表.
  How he manages to live is more than I can tell.
  他怎样生活的,我简直猜不透.
  He has more money than he can spend.
  他有花不完的钱.
  三、 more … than 通常用于比较两个不同的人物,但有时也可用来指一个人物本身的两种特性,这时其意义和 rather than 相同,肯定 more 后面的,而否定 than 后面的.汉语意思是“与其说……不如说……”,“是……而不是……”.例如:
  He is more diligent than clever.
  与其说他聪明,不如说他勤奋.
  She is more shy than unsocial.
  她是害羞,而不是不爱社交.
  He is more of a fool than a knave.
  与其说他是个无赖,不如说他是个笨蛋.
  四、 no more than 与 not more than 后跟名词所表含义的区别:
  no more than 后跟名词的意思是“只不过,仅仅”,有“轻视,嫌少”之意.例如:
  He is no more than a puppet.
  他只不过是个傀儡.
  He felt no more than five dollars in the bag.
  他的袋子里只剩下 5 美元(有言其少之意).
  not more than 后跟名词的意思是“不超过,至多”,是一般的否定,或客观地说明数字.例如:
  They were not more than two hours from the place.
  他们离那个地方最多不过两个小时的路线.
  I have not more than five dollars in my pocket.
  我口袋里的钱不多于 5 美元(最多 5 美元,不超过 5 美元).
  五、 no more … than ( not … any more than )跟从句,表示两者皆否定的观念,意思是“不……正如……不……一样”.例如:
  He’s no more fit to be a minister than a school boy would be.
  小学生不适合当部长,他也不适合当部长(这句话的重点在 He’s no more fit to be a minister ).
  A nation cannot exist without people any more than a tree can grow without roots.
  一个国家不可能离开人民而存在,正如树没有根不能生长一样.
  not more … than 跟从句表示两者皆肯定的观念,只是有差别而已,意思是“不及……那样”.例如:
  He is not more diligent than you are.
  他不象你那样勤奋.
  (重点在 you are diligent .他也勤奋,但不如你勤奋.)
  六、 little more than; no less than
  little more than ,因 little 含有否定意义,因此其汉语意思是“不过,仅仅,多不了多少”.例如:
  That is worth little more than one dollar.
  那不过值一美元.
  no less than ,因“ no less ”含双重否定,因此其汉语意思是“不少于,有……之多”.例如:
  There were no less than fifty killed and wounded.
  死伤者不少于 50 人.
  七、 more than 虽属比较结构,但可辅以一定的词汇手段,如:no,nothing,nobody,nowhere,any,anything else,hardly,scarcely 等否定句,便可表达最高级的含义.例如:
  Nothing is more precious than time.
  没有什么比时间更可贵的东西了.
  No complaint is more common than that of a scarcity of money.
  最普通的就是说钱不够用.
  George did more work this morning than anyone else.
  乔治今天上午干的工作比任何人都多.
