VII. Spotlight on Grammar: The structure of more…than/more than without a comparative clause
(1) Then he spoke again, almost more to himself than to me…(Passage A, Unit 4)
(2) And I learned that people all over the world are more the same than they are different. (Passage A, Unit 3)
上面例（1）中的more to himself than to me意为“与其说是对我说，不如说是对他自己说”，例（2）中的more the same than they are different意为“共同点大于不同点”。
这种more A than B的结构通常用在不包括比较分句的句子中，其意义通常是肯定A，否定B，即相当于“与其说是B，不如说是A”。有时也可对A和B的程度进行比较，即：“A的程度大于B”。这种more…than的结构可用来连接主语补语，如下例（1）；状语，如下例（2）等句子成分。
（1） He is more a businessman than a professor.
I was more angry than worried when they didn’t come back. She was more moved than pleased when she got his gift. Steven is more an actor than a teacher. Steven is more smart than hardworking. Jeff was more a master than a servant.
（2） He did it more for himself than for anybody else.
I teach more for fun than for a living.
She read the text more carefully than slowly. I walked more hurriedly than quickly.
注：当more用在形容词或副词前面是，不管该形容词或副词是单音节、双音节或多音节，都不能改成-er的形式。例如：
He is more big than strong. [误] He is bigger than strong.
Steven is more smart than hardworking. [误] Steven is smarter than hardworking.
此外，more than也可用于不带比较分句的句子中，作“不只是”讲，后面跟名词短语，如下例（1）；动词短语，如下例（2）；如形容词短语，如下例（3）。
(1) I like more than music.
Shakespeare has written more than Hamlet. His trip to America was more than sightseeing.
Teaching in a university is more than giving lectures.
Learning English is more than attending the classes and taking notes; you are learning another
culture!
(2) We more than waited from morning till night. She more than suffered from the disease.
He more than scolded me; he told me what to do next. James more than shouted; he threw the glass at the waiter. (3) She was more than glad to hear the news.
