11　than作關(guān)系代詞的用法（考研?？碱}）　Track11

 

that作關(guān)系代詞的用法特點：
1） than可作關(guān)系代詞引導(dǎo)定語從句，在從句中一般作主語。
2） than前面的主句需有形容詞的比較級形式。
a.Don't drink more wine than is good for health.
不要飲酒過量，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，他需要多少就給多少，因為他有錢就會花掉。
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可判定從句的時態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時，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。
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，目前我們的經(jīng)濟確實實現(xiàn)了持續(xù)的、較快的增長，在一兩年前絕大多數(shù)人認為該增長率是不可能實現(xiàn)的。所以，僅此而言，我們正處于一個“新經(jīng)濟時代”。
