more…than怎么用?more…than用法詳解
①more than +名詞,表示超出該名詞所指,意思是“不止”“不僅僅是”.
例如:We need more than material wealth to build our country.建設(shè)我們國家,不僅僅需要物質(zhì)財富.
②more than +形容詞或動詞,表示加重語氣,意思是“非常”“很”.
例如:I am more happy to help you 能幫助你,我特別高興.
③more than +數(shù)詞,表示超出該數(shù),意思是“多于”“大于”.
例如:More than one person has made this suggestion. 不止一人提過這個建議.
④more than + (that)從句,其基本意義是“超過(=over)”,但可譯成“簡直不”“遠非”.
例如:That is more than I can understand . 那非我所能懂的.
⑤如果在more than之間插入形容詞或副詞,這時它就有兩種含義:一為普通的比較級的用法;二是用來表示“與其說… 倒不如說……”的意思,試比較:
例如:The concert was more enjoyable than the lecture. 音樂會比講座更令人愉快.
[注意]這種用法也適用于less...than結(jié)構(gòu).
例如:He was less hurt than frightened. 與其說他受了傷,不如說他嚇壞了.
1. —Do you think him naughty enough?
—I’m afraid he’s than naughty.
A. more clever B. clever C. much clever D. much more clever
解:答案:A 在此句中more ..than意為“與其說……倒不如說……”.
2. We advertised for pupils last autumn ,and got 60.
A. more than B. more of C. as much as D. so many as
解:答案為A. as much as 意為“和…….一樣多”,往往用來表示程度,不能用來修飾可數(shù)名詞;so many as 雖然可以修飾可數(shù)名詞,但用于肯定句中要用as many as .more than后跟名詞或數(shù)量詞,表示“超過,不止是,不僅僅是”,即相當(dāng)于over.
⑵no better than=only 僅僅, not better than=at most 不超過.
①No more than 僅僅,同……一樣不……
His whole school education added up to no more than one year. 他所受的全部學(xué)校教育加起來只有一年.
例如:I could no more do that than you. 你不能做這事,我也不能做.
②Not more than 至多,不超過,不必……更.
例如:There are not more than six people over there .至多有六個人在那里.
1. —I did not do well in the exam. How about you?
—I did you. Maybe even worse.
A. not better than B. no better than
C. as well as D. nit worse than
解:答案為B.由maybe even worse(有可能比你還差)推知,前面的句意應(yīng)是“我做的不比你好多少”.Not better than不比….好;as well as和…..一樣好;not worse than不如……差;no better than不比….好.
2. What a wonder ! They’ve finished 30%of the task within one week.
A. no more than B. no less than C. not more than D. much less than
解:選B. no more than= only僅有、只有;not more than = at most 至多,不超過;no less than = Just as many as有…之多;less than少于.根據(jù)題意,只有B項符合題意.
