6) I assure you I am more than glad to help you.

第四，在“More……than……”中，肯定“more”后面的而否定“than”后面的，约等于“是……而不是……”如：

第六，“No more……than……”表示“不……;不如……”，如：

14) I can no more do that than anyone else.

15) A learner can no more obtain knowledge without reading than a farmer can get good harvest without ploughing.“

“No more………than……”的语义，也可用“not any more than……”来取代，因此 15 可以变成 16.

16) A learner cannot…… any more than ……“同样的， 17可以变成 18：

17) Dr Hu is no more a poet than Dr Wu is a philosopher.

18) Dr Hu is not a poet any more than Dr Wu is a philosopher.

此外，“more than”也在一些惯用语中出现，如：

19) More offen than not (经常)，people tend to pay attention to what they can take rather than what they can give.

20) All of us are more than a little concerned about(非常关心)the current economic problems.

总之，“more than”看似简单，其实很有内涵，味道隽永。
