看到如下句子:
Such calculations are more art than science.
我知道,more + adj 。为什么这个句子能more + 名词?
这是more + A + than + B的一个特殊的比较句式,表示“与其说是B,还不如说是A”,常连接两个名词、形容词、副词、介词短语等。例如:
She is more a writer than a scholar. 与其说她是学者,不如说她是作家。
He is more mad than brave. 与其说他勇敢,不如说他疯了。(more mad不可改为madder)
He drove more steadily than slowly. 与其说他车开得慢,不如说他开得稳。
He's more like a spear than (like) anything else. 与其说他(指大象)像别的什么东西,不如说他像一根梭镖。
