例如：

than
I
can
tell
you,
sir.
这一点我是不能告诉你的，先生。

（注意：在这种句型中，
more
than
后常接含有

can
或

could
的从句，
表示
“……
不能
”
。）

对于下列表示否定意义的句子，
有的语法学家认为在

than
后面省略了

when
，
有的认为省掉了

it
，也有的认为

than
用作关系代词，因而并无省略。这类 句
子在理解上并不困难，结构上变化也不大，从实用出发，可将其视为一种句型
来学习。
例如：

a.
You
spent
more
money
than
was
intended
to
be
spent.
你花掉的钱比原计划的要多。（原计划要花的钱没有这么多。）

b.
This
is
more
money
than
is
needed.

often
advise
him
not
to
drink
more
wine
than
is
good
for
his
health.

more
than
结构可以由

far
，
much
，
a
l ittle
，
slightly
，
hardly
，
noth ing
，
no
等
词修饰，一般置于

more
than
结构前。例如
：

(1)

little
man
was
hardly
more
than
one
meter
fifty
tall.
这个小个子男人身高仅
1.5
米。

have
thought
of
nothing
more
likely
to
please
her
brot
her
than
this
praise
of
Maggie.

more
than
后跟形容词、副词、分词、动词、名词，

more
than
起强调作用，
含义是

more
than
后的形容词、副词、分词、动词、名词的分量不足以反应实
际情况而加以说 明，汉语意思是：
“
十分，非常，岂止，简直，不仅仅，绰绰有
余
”
。例如：


I
am
more
than
content
with
what
you
said.


我对你的讲话十分满意。


She
was
dressed
more
than
simply.


她穿着太朴素了。
