11 than作關(guān)系代詞的用法(考研常考題) Track11
that作關(guān)系代詞的用法特點(diǎn):
1) than可作關(guān)系代詞引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句,在從句中一般作主語(yǔ)。
2) than前面的主句需有形容詞的比較級(jí)形式。
a.Don't drink more wine than is good for health.
不要飲酒過(guò)量,適量飲酒有益于健康。
b.Don't give him more money than is needed , since money will burn a hole in his pocket.
不要多給他錢(qián),他需要多少就給多少,因?yàn)樗绣X(qián)就會(huì)花掉。
c.Today we know a great deal more about the sea than was known in ancient times.
d.There ought to be less anxiety over the perceived risk of getting cancer than_________in the public today.
A. exists
B. exist
C. existing
D. existed
正確答案:A
分析:這里的than指anxiety,且根據(jù)句末today可判定從句的時(shí)態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),所以選A。
譯文 :人們不應(yīng)該像如今這樣擔(dān)心患上癌癥。
3) than也可在從句中作賓語(yǔ)。
For now, however, it does appear that the economy can sustain a higher growth rate than most people thought impossible just a year or two ago. In that limited respect, at least, we appear to be in a "New Economy”.
不過(guò),目前我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)確實(shí)實(shí)現(xiàn)了持續(xù)的、較快的增長(zhǎng),在一兩年前絕大多數(shù)人認(rèn)為該增長(zhǎng)率是不可能實(shí)現(xiàn)的。所以,僅此而言,我們正處于一個(gè)“新經(jīng)濟(jì)時(shí)代”。
