　　以下是小編為大家整理的More than的用法總結，希望能幫助大家更好地認識more than這個詞組，提高英語水平。

　　A. “More than+名詞”表示“多于……”、“非但……尤其是”如：

　　1)　　Modern science is more than a large amount of information.

　　2)　　Jason is more than a lecturer; he is a writer, too.

　　B. “More than+數(shù)詞”含“以上”或“不止”之意，如：

　　3)　　 I have known David for more than 20 years.

　　4)　　Let"s carry out the test with more than the sample copy.

　　C. “More than+形容詞”等于“很”或“非常”的意思，如：

　　5)　　In doing scientific experiments, one must be more than careful with the instruments.

　　6)　　I assure you I am more than glad to help you.

　　D. 在“More...than...”中，肯定“more”后面的而否定“than”后面的，約等于“是……而不是……”如：

　　7)　　The difference between pure linguistics and applied linguistics is more apparent than real.

　　F. “No more...than...”表示“不……;不如……”，如：

　　14)　I can no more do that than anyone else.

　　15)　A learner can no more obtain knowledge without reading than a farmer can get good harvest without ploughing.”

　　“No more…...than...”的語義，也可用“not any more than...”來取代，因此 15 可以變成 16。

　　16)　　A learner cannot... any more than ...”同樣的， 17可以變成 18：

　　17)　　Dr Hu is no more a poet than Dr Wu is a philosopher.

　　18)　　 Dr Hu is not a poet any more than Dr Wu is a philosopher.

　　此外，“more than”也在一些慣用語中出現(xiàn)，如：
