一、the more…，the more…
　　the 比较级…，the 比较级…意为"越……，越……"，表示一方的程度随着另一方的变化而变化，其中的两个the都是副词，而不是冠词，前面部分是从句，后面部分是主句。
　　【例如】
　　The more people you know, the less time you have to see them.
　　你认识的人越多，见他们是时间就越少。
　　The busier she is, the happier she feels.
　　她越忙，就感到越快活。
　　The greater (is) the resistance, the less (is) the current.
　　电阻越大，电流就越小。
　　The sooner, the better.
越早越好。

二、比较级的修饰词
　　比较级可以用much, far, a lot, a great deal, a little, a bit, by far来修饰。
　　【例如】
She is much more beautiful than I have thought.
The situation is far more complicated than I have imagined.
I can do a little better than you. Let me do it.

三、不用than的比较
　　并不是所有的形容词表示比较时都用than，英语中有几个以-or结尾源于拉丁语的形容词，由于其原级已具有比较的含义，在表示比较时不用than，而用to。这类形容词不多，计有：anterior / prior to(先于)，posterior to (在……之后)，superior to(优于)，inferior to(劣于)，junior to(年幼于)，senior to(年长于)。
　　【例如】
　　This task is prior to all others.
　　He thinks he is superior to his classmates because his father is a very important people.
　　The Red Army was inferior in equipment but superior in morale to the enemy.
　　My arrival in Beijing is posterior to that of our manager.
　　It happened prior to my arrival.
　　The official’s rank is senior to his father’s.
　　Mary is two years senior to me, and her sister is junior to me by three years.

四、几个含有than的结构
　　1) no more than
　　只，仅仅，只不过是(=only)，后面接名词或数词，在句中起形容词作用。例如：The street is no more than two miles long.这条大街只有两英里长。What he is saying is no more than a joke.他所讲的只不过是个玩笑而已。The estimate of 20012 tons was probably no more than another wild assumption of theirs.这个二万零一十二吨的估计数字，也许只不过是他们的又一个胡编乱造。
　　2) no more... than (= not...any more than)
　　和……一样不(not...any more than)。Than前后都是否定的含义。
　　A whale is no more a fish than a horse is. (= A whale is not a fish any more than a horse is.)鲸和马都不是鱼。(鲸之非鱼类，正如马之非鱼类。)
　　My elder brother is no more a singer than I am.我哥哥和我都不是歌唱家。
　　They will no more sell their freedom for roubles than for dollars.他们既不会以他们的自由换取美元，也将同样不会以自由换取卢布。
　　The little man was ____one meter fifty high.
　　A) almost more than B) hardly more than　　C) nearly D) as much as
　　hardly more than用来表示"仅仅"。根据句意：这个小个子男人仅有1.5米高，应选择B.
