ather than 是……而不是……;与其……不如…
例:We will have the meeting in the classroom rather than in the great hall.我们是在教室里开会,不是在大厅里.
rather than 与would 连用时,构成“would rather...than...”句式,意思是“宁愿……而不愿……”,表示主观愿望,即在两者之中选择其一.例如:
She'd rather die than lose the children.她宁愿死也不愿失去孩子们.
more than超过,不仅仅,超过
he is no more than 9 years old.他不过才九岁
he isn't more than 9 years old.他不超过九岁
he is no more a teacher than I am.他不是老师我也不是
he is not more happier than he used to 他没有像以前那样快乐了
the situation is more than even worse.情势越来越槽糕了
other than:固定用法,用于否定句中.意思是除了……,除……之外.
I can't do other than obey.
除了服从,我别无他法.
nothing but(除……而外;什么也没有;只有)后面可接
(1) 名词或代词:
For miles and miles I could see nothing except (= but) a great fire and lots of smoke.一连好几英里,除了大火和浓烟我什么也看不见.
Under the soil there is nothing but sand.在这层土壤下边只有沙子.
(2)不定式:A cold-blooded animal has no choice but to lie down and sleep.冷血动物别无选择,只好躺下来睡觉.(注:这种句型中的不定式通常要带to;但当其前面的动词是do,或只有情态动词时,but后面的不定式要省去to.例如:
He did nothing but sleep all day long.他什么也不干,成天睡觉.
anything but 绝不,根本不.如:
He was anything but a fool.他根本不是个傻瓜.
