如何区分than和then
如何区分than和then
- 使用实例
- 例句1:There are more onions than scallions in your fridge.冰箱里的洋葱比青葱多。
- 例句2:Scott was sicker than a dog last week.上周斯科特简直比狗还虚弱。
- 例句1:First there were four, and then there were two. 首先有四个,然后变成两个了。
- Wash the clothes, then put them in the dryer.先洗衣服,然后再放到烘干机里。
- 发Than的时候,口腔打得更开,舌头置于底部顶住下齿。从口腔后部和喉咙发出来的元音会稍微有被阻挡的感觉。
- 发Then的时候嘴张开一半就行,发音时喉咙和舌头都处于放松状态。
- 用next代替then,检验句子是否有意义?
- I will go to the store next是我接下来去商店的意思,所以这里可以用then:I will go to the store then.
- I like apples better next papayas 这句话语义不通,所以应该使用than:I like apples better than papayas.(比起木瓜我更喜欢苹果。)
- 用in comparison to 来代替than,看看句子通不通。
- 句子It costs more in comparison to a new car的语意通顺,意思是这比买辆新车钱花得更多,所以可以用than:It costs more than a new car.
- 而这个句子You'll never guess what happened to me in comparison to却讲不通,所以你可能要用到then: You'll never guess what happened to me then!(你永远猜不到当时发生了什么。)
- 错例:I'm a better speller then you! (意思本是:我比你更擅长拼字。)
- 错例: I feel that astrophysics is less interesting then horticulture. (意思本是:我觉得园艺学比天体物理学更有意思。)
- 错例: She is going to stop to get snacks, than we'll go to the library together. (意思本是:她打算先去买点零食,然后我们再一起去图书馆。)
- 错例: Our parents used to go out to eat every now and than. (意思本是:我们父母过去常常在外面吃饭。)
- 正确: Learn grammar rules. Then you will be smarter than your average bear. (意思是:学好语法规则,你会比同龄人更聪明。)
- than也可以用于时间先后,如: "Paul was later than Mary." 这里用in comparison to 来检验句子是念得通的,所以than在这里使用正确,和表时间的词later一起表示比……晚。
