more than 与more …than 短语在英语中使用得十分广泛。
但其用法和意义并不简单，一不留神就可能用错。
因为more than 与more …than 除了具备其基本用法外，还有些特殊用法。
理解和翻译时要特别小心，不能一看到more than就简单地按照字面上的意思将其理解为“比……更……”或“超过”等，而是要根据上下文找出m o r e t h a n短语的确切含义，只有这样才不至于贻笑大方。
more than 相当于一个形容词或副词短语，在句中作定语或状语，修饰其后的动词、副词、数词或名词等。
一. more than 的用法1. more than 后跟数词，相当于over，翻译成“……多、超过……”等，强调某物数量上超出某一范围。
More than 1,500 people were killed in the earthquake. 地震中有一千五百多人遇难。
I have collected more than 3 hundred stamps so far. 到目前为止，我已收集了300多张邮票。
I’ve known him for more than 20 years. 我认识他已经二十多年了。
Their college enrolled more than five hundred new students this year. 他们学院今年招收了五百多名新生。
2. more than 后跟名词或动名词，相当于over, not just, not only，表示“不只是、不仅仅是”等。
例如：She is more than a teacher to us, she is our friend. 他不只是教师，她还是我们的朋友。
Hibernation is more than sleep. 冬眠不仅仅是睡眠。
Wood is used for more than building. 木头不仅仅用于建筑。
Blood is much more than the simple fluid it seems to be. 血液不仅仅是一种外表似乎简单的液体。

I like autumn more than summer. 我喜欢秋天胜过夏天。
He is more than a soldier. He is simply a hero. 他岂止是个战士，简直是个英雄。
注：more than one意为“不止一个”，若用作主语，谓语用单数；more +复数名词+than one做主语时，谓语用复数。
例如：More than one teacher has been to Australia in this college. 这所学院的教师中，不止一人去过澳大利亚。
More ships than one were damaged in the storm. 不止一艘轮船在这次暴风雨中受损。
More than one book has been translated into foreign languages. 不止一本书被译成了外语。

3. more than后跟动词、形容词、副词、或介词，相当于very, much, not only, especially，表示“不仅、十分、非常、很、更加、非但”等。
例如：She was dressed more than simply. 她的穿着简朴得近乎寒酸。

4. more than后跟从句，相当于not only, over等，表示“不仅仅是……、超过……、难以……、，简直不能……”等，从句中常用can或could。
例如：The hurt and pain were more than he could stand. 他无法承受那些伤害和痛苦。
The cold was more than the children could bear. 天气冷得孩子们受不。

二. more than的否定结构more than的否定结构是no more than和not more than，但两者意义和用法各不相同。
no more than后跟名词或数词，相当于only，表示“仅仅、只有”，含有嫌少的感情色彩；而not more than后跟名词或数词，相当于at most, no less than，表示“至多、不超过”，不含嫌少的感情色彩。
例如：We’ve learned no more than 9 lessons this term. 本学期我们只学了9课课文。

2. more …than的特殊用法2.1 more …than后跟形容词、副词、动词、名词等，一般情况下，要求more后部分和than后部分词类相同，但偶尔也有例外。
表示“与其说……不如说、是……不是、是……更是、有……无……”等。
例如：He is more dead than alive. 与其说他还活在人世，不如说他是行尸走肉。
