more…than…的三個(gè)用法

一、表示“比……更多”

此時(shí)more為many或much的比較級(jí)，表示數(shù)量，后接名詞。如：

I made more mistakes than you. 我犯的錯(cuò)誤比你多。

Last year there were more births than deaths. 去年的出生人數(shù)多于死亡人數(shù)。

He’s got more money than the rest of us together. 他的錢(qián)比我們大家的加在一起的總數(shù)還多。

注：若more受much或many的修飾，則應(yīng)分別與不可數(shù)和可數(shù)名詞連用。如：

His car cost much more money than mine. 他的小汽車(chē)所花的錢(qián)比我的多得多。

There are many more people than we expected. 比我們想象的人要多得多。

二、表示“比…更”

此時(shí)more后接多音節(jié)形容詞或副詞，構(gòu)成比較級(jí)，表示對(duì)兩者進(jìn)行比較。如：

He is more careful than the others. 他比其他人更仔細(xì)。

Travelling by train is more relaxing than driving. 乘火車(chē)旅行比開(kāi)汽車(chē)輕松得多。

This company is more concerned with quality than with quantity. 這家公司對(duì)質(zhì)量比對(duì)產(chǎn)量更關(guān)心。

三、表示“與其說(shuō)……不如說(shuō)”

此時(shí)不是對(duì)兩個(gè)對(duì)象進(jìn)行比較，而是對(duì)同一個(gè)人或物在兩個(gè)不同方面進(jìn)行比較或取舍，此時(shí)不論形容詞或副詞是單音節(jié)、雙音節(jié)還是多音節(jié)，一律用more…than…。如：

He is more lucky than clever. 與其說(shuō)他聰明，不如說(shuō)他幸運(yùn)。

He was more frightened than hurt. 他傷倒不算什么，可受驚不小。

It is more grey than brown. 與其說(shuō)它是棕色的，倒不如說(shuō)是灰色的。

有時(shí)，more…than…比較的不是
