曹老師,之前學(xué)習(xí)了more...than比較分句,對于more than連在一塊的結(jié)構(gòu),這類句子又該怎么樣理解呢?辛苦老師教會指正,不勝感激。
1.He is more than a teacher.
這里的more是代詞?譯為“不只”,是缺省了什么東西嗎?
2.In the course of a day students do far more than just attend classes.
far more兩個副詞一同修飾do,than比較分句修飾more?
3.He is nothing more than a dreamer.
4.What a governmnet makes of education will decide nothing less than the future of a country.
對于3和4,接了個nothing感覺完全沒辦法理解了。。。
5.I would more than ready to help you.
6.Scattered around the globe are more than 100 small regions of isolated volcanic activity known to geologists as hot spots.
例5和例6的more than是不是同一個使用方法,例5中more than整體作副詞“很”用,例6中more than整體作為副詞修飾數(shù)詞100表示“超越,多于”?還可以進一步剖析嗎?
more than有時為比較習(xí)語 comparative idiom. 即more than被用作一個副詞。
1 He is more than a teacher.
more than為副詞,more than +名詞 = not just/not only + 名詞。
2 In the course of a day students do far more than just attend classes.
far 可以修飾比較級,用或不需要不影響結(jié)構(gòu)。do more than just attend classes = not only attend classes but also do many other things. 或者= do many thingsbut notjust attend classes.
3 He is nothing more than a dreamer.
nothing more than為習(xí)語,整體根據(jù)一個副詞剖析,= only,exactly。
4 What a governmnet makes of education will decide nothing less than the future of a country.
nothing less than為習(xí)語,整體根據(jù)一個副詞剖析,表示強調(diào),= exactly, completely,very.
...will decide the very future of a county.
5 I would be more than ready to help you.
more than+形容詞= very,completely。more than剖析為副詞。
6 Scattered around the globe are more than 100 small regions of isolated volcanic activity known to geologists as hot spots.
more than+數(shù)詞 = over + 數(shù)詞。more than 剖析為副詞。
以上句子均不適合根據(jù)普通比較分句來剖析。
