THAN后面的格及其它 - 四级语法

??e．g．He is younger than his brother．

??代词用什么格一般根据代词与被省略的词（通常是动词或介词）的语法关系来确定。因此，如果我们心里想着补上省略部分，我们就能正确使用代词的格。

??e．g．He is a richer man than I( am）．他是一个比我富裕的人。

??I see you trust him more than I (do）．我看得出你比我更信任他。

??I see you trust him more than (you trust）me．我看得出你信任他胜过（你信任）我。

??You are more ready to help him than (you are ready to help）me．你乐于帮助他胜过（你乐于帮助）我。

??That is a matter for you rather than( for）me．那是你的事情，而不是我的。

??尽管严格的语法规律要求代词用主格但是主格往往听起来很别扭，很不自然，因此，在口语中，使用宾格乃是约定俗成的。

??e．g．He is several years older than me或I am much taller than him．。

??以上是在than后面主要省略了动词或介词，但有时也省略整个一组词。

??e．g．It is much warmer today than (it was）yesterday．今天比昨天暖和多了。

??Better late than never (to come at all）．晚来总比不来好。亡羊补牢，未为晚也。

??than 还和其他词连用，组成固定短语：

??e．g．rather／sooner than，prefer．．．与其……宁愿……

??Rather／Sooner than by air，he would prefer a week on a big liner．与其乘飞机，他倒宁愿坐一周的巨型班轮。

??I prefer to be called a coward than fight.我宁可被称作懦夫，也不愿打一仗。

??other／else than ：除……以外：

??We have no alternative other than to follow the sense of our own experience．除了根据我们的经验以外，没有其他办法。

??scarcely／hardly／barely／no sooner一……就……

??He had barely left the lift at the bottom than the lift bell started to ring．，电梯铃就响了。

??no more than：仅仅，只

??It's no more than a beginning．这仅仅是个开端。

??The room is no more than 15 feet long．这个房间只有15英尺长。

??none other than：不是别人，正是

??He is none／no other than my teacher．他不是别人，正是我的老师。

??no other than：第一意同 none other than；第二意：只有

??He is no／none other than my best frien 他正是我的朋友。
