than用法的七個關(guān)鍵要點 1. 在通常情況下,后接人稱代詞時可用主格也可用賓格,含義一樣。如: He is taller than I [me]. 他比我高。 He swims faster than she [her]. 他比她游泳游得快。 若人稱代詞之后跟有動詞,則只能用主格。如: He is taller than I am. 他比我高。 He swims faster than she does. 他比她游泳游得快。 有時用主格或賓格會導(dǎo)致意思的變化。比較: I like you better than he (likes you). 我比他更喜歡你。 I like you better than (he likes) him. 我喜歡你勝過喜歡他。 2. 通常不與由 and 連接的兩個比較級連用。如: 誤:It’s colder and colder than ever 誤:Computers are cheaper and cheaper than before. 誤:She is more and more interested in English than last year. 改正的辦法:要么去掉后面的than結(jié)構(gòu),要么將and與一個比較級。如說成:It is colder than ever. 或 It is colder and colder. 等。 3. than 通常用于兩個不同的人或物在同一方面進(jìn)行比較,但有時指的可能是同一個人或物在同兩個不同的方面進(jìn)行比較。如: He’s more fat than (he’s) short. 與其說他矮不如說他胖。 They are more brave than wise. 他們有勇無謀。 此類結(jié)構(gòu)只能用 more 構(gòu)成比較級,不能用-er 形式,即使是單音節(jié)也是如此。 4. than any other后接名詞時通常用單數(shù)形式,很少用復(fù)數(shù)。如: He swims faster than any other student in his class. 他比班上的其他任何學(xué)生都游得快。 5. 當(dāng)連接兩個非謂語動詞時,通常應(yīng)保持用前后一致的形式。如: 他認(rèn)為他自己開車比讓我開車要更安全些。 正:He thinks it is safer to drive himself than (to) let me drive. 正:He thinks that driving himself is safer than letting me drive. 若不是連接兩個非謂語動詞,但其后出現(xiàn)有動詞,則該動詞通常用動名詞(雖然也可用不定式,但不如用動名詞普通)。如: I cleaned my shoes, which was better than doing nothing. 我把鞋子擦干凈了,這比閑著什么都不干要好。 Nothing is more unpleasant than finding [to find] insects in your bath. 最使人不快的是在浴室里發(fā)現(xiàn)有蟲子。 5. 類似以下這類句子,可以認(rèn)為 than就是這類句子主語,也可認(rèn)為than后省略了what: He never says more than is necessary. 沒有必要的話,他從不多說。 There were more deaths than was first supposed. 死亡人數(shù)比最先預(yù)料的要多。 有時這類句子的省略可以多種形式,且有時其主語可補(bǔ)充完整。如: 他比預(yù)料的要來得早。 正:He came earlier than expected. 正:He came earlier than was expected. 正:He came earlier than he was expected. 6. 帶有never (a) 的比較級結(jié)構(gòu)后連用了than時,是一種強(qiáng)調(diào)說法,通常表示最高級的含義。如: I’ve never had a worse morning than today. 我哪一天早上也不像今天早上這樣倒霉。 若意思明確,有時可省略than結(jié)構(gòu)。如: He is fine, never better. 他很好,比以往任何時候都好。 I’ve never found a better job. 這是我找到的最好的工作。 7. 若語義需要,有時可后接when, if等引導(dǎo)的從句。如: You are a little fatter than when I saw you last. 你比我上次見你時胖點了。 They work better together than if they are alone. 他們一起干比他們單干效果要好。 有時還可接沒有任何引導(dǎo)詞的句子。如: The game was closer than the score suggests. 實際的比賽與所得的分?jǐn)?shù)相比更難分高下。 |
