关于more than的问题

Question

请问:
1、请写出more than 表示“多于”意思的例句。

2、除了more than 后面跟名词作宾语时，than是介词之外，是不是rather than，other than，more than，else than，anywhere than中的than都是连词？

3、如果more than 后面跟不定式时，than是什么词？请举例句。谢谢！

Answer 1

1、请写出more than 表示“多于”意思的例句。

* He had called him more than once. 他不止一次给他打电话。
* More than half of the students of our class came to the party. 我们班半数以上的同学都来参加了这次聚会。
* He has been taking pleasure in helping others for more than scores of years. 数十年来他一直都在助人为乐。
* I am more than satisfied with what you have done. 我对你所做的感到十二分的满意。
* There are more than ten people having taken part in the activity. 有10人以上参加了这次活动，
* This food contains more than 36% butterfat. 这种食品乳脂肪含量不低于36%。
* I have more than enough. 我已经吃得太多了。
* Words cut more than swords. 言语比利剑更伤人。

2、关于than

than本身有两种词性：一为介词，后面跟名词或动名词作宾语；二为连词，用来连接与前面相比较的同样词性或结构的成分。more than表示“多于/超过”时，than是介词，而在下述四种情况中，than则是连词。

1）用于形容词或副词比较级之后，表示“与…相/比起…来”

* He is taller than his brother. （= than his brother is tall的省略）他比他的兄弟长得高。
* I know you better than he (does). （= than he knows you的省略）我比他更了解你。
* I know you better than him. （= than I know him 的省略）我对你比对他更了解。
* Easier said than done. （= It is easier said than it is easy done）说来容易做来难。

2）用于rather, sooner, 之后，表示“与其...宁愿...”

* I'd rather you came tomorrow than today. （= than you came today的省略）我宁愿你于明天来而不是今天来。
* I would rather die than disgrace myself. （= than I disgrace myself的省略）我宁死不受辱。

3）用于 other, else, anywhere 等之后，表示“除...以外”

* She seldom appears other than happy. （= than she appears happy）她总是看起来很幸福。
* There are also schools other than Harvard. （= than there is Harvard）学校也不止哈佛这一家。
* It was none other than Mr. Wang. （= than it is Mr. Wang）不是旁人而正是王先生
* He did nothing else than laugh. （= than he did with a laugh） 他只是笑。
* The present market situation is nothing else than fine. （= than the present market situation is fine）目前市场形势是最好不过的了。
* No one else than he spoke to me the matter. （No one else spoke to me than he spoke to me the matte）这件事只有他对我讲过。

3、than作连词，后面连接的说到底是一个省略的句子，因此，如果more than 后面跟不定式，说明后面是一个省略了与上文重复的主谓结构。如：

* What he wants to ask for is much more than (what he wants) to present with all respect. 他想要索取的大大超过要奉献的。
* To do something is more convictive than to say (it). 做比说更令人信服。

注：括号中的重复部分都略去不提。

Answer 2

1.She earns a lot more than I do. 她挣得钱多于我
2.其次你没有分清介词和连词的区别，所谓连词后面是能够引导完整句子的，而介词，比如常见的to，of，你见过后面跟句子的吗？所以不在于than用于什么短语或结构，而在于than后面接的是什么。
e.g It was much more than I had expected. 这远比我预想的多得多。
此处than 后面接的是句子，所以是连词
I want to have some juice rather than coffee.我想要果汁，而不是咖啡。
这里rather thanh后面接的是名词，不是句子，所以是介词
3.同上面所说原理，不定式不是句子，所以than是介词。
