 第一、More than+名词”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.

  第二, “More than+数词”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.

  第三,“More than+形容词”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.

  第四,在“More……than……”中,肯定“more”后面的而否定“than”后面的,约等于“是……而不是……”如:

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

  8) This book seems to be more a manual than a text.

  10) Hearing the loud noise, the boy was more surprised than frightened.

  第六,“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……”的语义,也可用“not any more than……”来取代,因此 15 可以变成 16.

  16) A learner cannot…… any more than ……“同样的, 17可以变成 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.

  第七,“more than”也在一些惯用语中出现,如:
