关于比较级more than的用法对于初学者来说应该是一个很头疼的用法,我问了我的老师,而我的老师对我的问题也解决不清楚他只告诉我了记住就行了,但我觉得学习要知其原因,为此我特意查阅了柯林斯和朗文双解词库比较more词条的用法,(再次说明很感谢刘老师对于as用法的详细解答,同时也希望这次刘老师也进行解答,感谢您!)步入正题说一下我的困惑:
more这个词组成了许许多多的词组,如:
▲more and more
1. 当more是副词词性时:
As the disease worsened, he found walking more and more difficult.(可以看出是修饰difficult)
2. 当more是限定词词性时:
More and more people are moving to the cities. 越来越多的人在往城市搬迁。(可以看出是修饰people)
【疑惑】那我们是不是可以得出一个结论看词组的中心词是副词那么就是副词短语,是限定词就是限定词短语呢?如果不是分别是什么词组呢,如错误请指出。
还有一点,是不是短语后面加什么要看中心词的词性如副词词组more than 后面虽然加了名词也是因为more是副词的缘故,而不是than是介词或什么的缘故。
▲more ... than
朗文双解more是副词
•It was a lot more expensive than I had expected.它比我估计的要贵得多。
•Your health is more important than anything else.你的健康比什么都重要。
•Children can often do these puzzles more easily than adults.儿童做这些益智游戏往往会比成年人轻松。
【疑惑】第二个句子可能还是连词是一种省略结构,那么什么时候than是连词,什么时候又是副词呢,能在举出than是介词的例子么?
▲used to say that something happens to a greater degree更强烈地; 更大程度地; ANTless more是副词
•She cares a lot more for her dogs than she does for me.她关心她的狗远远超过关心我。
more than
•It's his manner I dislike, more than anything else.我最讨厌的是他的态度。
【疑惑】第二个例句中的More than ,是可以拆分的吧,在句中是一种什么结构呢?按理说这里的more是一个单独的词而不是和后面的than组成了结构啊?
▲no more than (more是限定词)
a. used to say that something is not too much, but exactly right or suitable就是; 正是:
•It's no more than you deserve.这完全是你应该得到的。
•Eline felt it was no more than her duty to look after her husband.埃林娜觉得照顾丈夫就是她的责任。
【疑惑】我觉得这是一个很怪的现象,字典里给的其它例句关于no more than的than后面都是加名词短语,而偏偏第一个又是you desrve加了个句子,让然很困惑什么时候难道这里的than有两种词性,用法?
那到底是结构呢,还是短语呢,这里的more是det词性应该是个限定词短语啊,求老师详细说明下。
▲more than happy / welcome / likely etc very happy, welcome, likely etc – used to emphasize what you are saying非常乐意/欢迎/可能等〔用于强调所说的话〕
【疑惑】我知道这里more的词性依旧是副词,那么,这里的than是连词还是介词呢?还有more than应该组成了副词词组吧?
▲more than 10 / 100 etc
•Our plane took off more than two hours late.我们的飞机晚了两个多小时才起飞。
•More than a quarter of the students never finished their courses.超过四分之一的学生没有学完他们的课程。
【疑惑】词典里说这里的More是限定词,那么这里两个的例句中的MoreThan 是都可以看成限定词词组么?如果是,根据柯林斯词典中:
PREP-PHRASE 短语介词 超过;超出 You use more than before a number or amount to say that the actual number or amount is even greater.【搭配模式】:PREP amount
•The Afghan authorities say the airport had been closed for more than a year.阿富汗当局称,该机场已经关闭一年多了。
•...classy leather and silk jackets at more than £250.价格在250英镑以上的时髦皮革和丝绸夹克
•...a survey of more than 1,500 schools.对1,500多所学校进行的调查
这里说成介词短语啊?
如果是那么为什么:
PHRASE 短语 超出需要;超乎寻常 You use more than to say that something is true to a greater degree than is necessary or than average.【搭配模式】:PHR n
•Lithuania produces more than enough food to feed itself.立陶宛的粮食生产供大于求。
•...accommodation which is roomy and offers more than generous stowage.住宿宽敞,储藏空间绰绰有余
可在柯林斯里又把它看成了介词词组,我查了下over当为介词时等于more than字典里写的,我觉得非常矛盾,希望老师帮我理顺下。
▲more than
•Children are using the library more than they used to.儿童对图书馆的使用比以前多。
•He travels around a lot more now that he has a car.他现在有了车,出去跑的时间就多得多了。
【疑惑】词典就是这样给的我觉的这样是错的难道这里把more than当做一个短语了么?我觉得这里的more是修饰动词的是凑巧和than连在一起的,不知道老师怎么看,同时我也觉得这是我们学生的一大困惑,看不出什么时候和谁搭配。不知道老师有什么高招。
根据柯林斯:ADV-COMPAR 副词比较级形式 更像(前者)地;与其说(是)…,倒不如说(是) 【搭配模式】:ADV group than group/cl这个是什么意思呢,老师能解释下么?
The exhibition at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts is more a production than it is a museum display...波士顿美术博物馆的展览与其说是一次博物馆展出,倒不如说是一场精心设计的展演活动。
•He's more like a film star than a lifeguard, really...真的,与其说他像救生员,不如说他更像电影明星。
•She looked more sad than in pain...她看起来更多的是悲伤,而不是疼痛。
•Sue screamed, not loudly, more in surprise than terror...休尖叫起来,声音不大,吃惊多于恐惧。
疑惑:同样是一个短语,第一个than后面是个句子,而第二三个是个名词,不是很理解这个than的词性是随时变得,依据是什么,我们又从哪里得知它的变化呢,more含than 的词组这么多,是不是每一个都可以这样有两种词性?
第二个more后面加了adj而than后面却加了个介词词组,第三个more后面加了介词词组,than后面却加了名词,完全不理解这里面的用法。
▲关于more of 朗文词典说be more of sth than sth 是不是而是讲,而到了柯林斯词典却给出了这样的例句:The exhibition at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts is more a production than it is a museum display...波士顿美术博物馆的展览与其说是一次博物馆展出,倒不如说是一场精心设计的展演活动。
不是than sth么怎么又变成了连词呢?
还有more of后面中的more到底什么词性呢,是代词限定词,还是像柯林斯又把它归结成了限定词又说了他是数词?好疑惑?
▲郎文中的例句 you’better take some more of your medicine .
We stayed in Danville two more days (柯林斯的例句)
Many more institutions .........
Are you sure you wouldn’t like some more wine?
我想问的是这里面的some more of, two more, many more,都是一样的用法么为什么柯林斯出这里的more是形容词,而朗文说是限定词不是不定代词像something这样的才可以把形容词放在后面吗,而且第一个some more后面还有个of感觉很奇怪啊,老师您能说一下为什么么?
之所以没有分篇是想跟我有同样疑惑的同学看到此篇归纳式问题,能够快速学习到,提交错误,反反复复打了两个多小时,知道您肯定也为如此篇幅感到头疼,抱歉。

a. used to say that something is not too much, but exactly right or suitable
就是; 正是:
•It's no more than you deserve.这完全是你应该得到的。
以上句子解析:no more than 后面缺少一个名词,因为,定语从句you deserve 前没有先行词,如果用only替换,就是It is only you deserve,显然这个句子不符合语法原则,是不正确句子。you deserve 为一个主语+谓语结构
