● 1. more … than的基本用法

● 2. more … than的特殊用法

2.1 more …  than后跟形容词、副词、动词、名词等,一般情况下,要求more后部分和than后部分词类相同,但偶尔也有例外。表示“与其说……不如说、是……不是、是……更是、有……无……”等。例如:

注:①有时more … than后的可数名词用作抽象名词,不加任何冠词。例如:

She is more mother than wife. 她是一位妻子,但更是一位母亲。(她算得上是良母,但不是贤妻。)

②more + 形容词/副词 + than,表示“与其说……,不如说……”,其中形容词或副词即使是单音节词或双音节词,也不能用其比较级。例如:

Tom was more good than bad. 与其说汤姆坏,不如说他好。

Tom was better than worse. (此句不成立)

2.2 more … than后跟从句,than在从句中作主语或宾语,表示“难以……”或“比……多”。例如:
