ｍｏｒｅ的用法

有一些词组和more有关，这些词组的意思很容易混淆，特别是有时候会理解成相反的意思。下面把它们列举出来，希望大家明白每个词组的意思，这样才不会把整句话的意思弄错。

{1} more than不只是，非常

She is more than kind to us all. 她对我们所有人都非常好。

{2} nothing more than 仅仅，只不过

It was nothing more than a shower. 只不过下了场阵雨。

{3} more B than A与其说A不如说B

less A than B

He is more lazy than slow at his work. = He is less slow than lazy at his work. 与其说他工作反应慢，不如说他工作时偷懒。

He has no more than ＄100. 他只有100美元。

{5} no more... than... 与……一样……，不比……多

The officials could see no more than the Emperor. 官员们所见的不比皇帝多。

下面有两道相关的练习题及解析：

{1} ______ the child expresses his interest in an activity, the stronger it will become.

A. The more frequent

B. The frequenter

C. The more frequently

D. The frequentlier

分析一下

前面说的句型the more... the more...实际上表示形容词或副词的比较级，一般单音节词和少数双音节词后面加er，其他双音节词和多音节词前面加more。这里首先看这个句子，我们需要填一个副词修饰动词express，所以用frequently，其次，frequently是一个多音节词，前面加the more。所以选择C。

整句话的意思是：孩子对一项活动的兴趣表达得越频繁，它会变得越强烈。

{2} Stars are so far away that they are ______ spots of light when seen from the earth.

A. nothing more as

B. anything more than

C. more than

D. nothing more than

分析一下

这里就是考查上面提到的nothing more than，它的意思是“仅仅，只不过”。

整句话的意思是：从地球上看，星星的距离如此遥远，以至于它们看起来只不过是亮点。因此答案为D。
