other than在此为复合介词,大约等于except。前面有实意动词do, 其后的不定式的to通常省略。
It's almost as though the working people who really know how to do something other than make money are striking back at the white-collar society.
other than这里是什么词性?后面为什么跟动词原形?
【答】other than 是“副词 + 介词”组成的复合介词,意思是“除了”,相当于except。其前面如果有实意动词do(谓语动词或者非谓语动词形式均可), 其后的不定式的to 通常省略,也可以保留。如:
I could not do other than obey him. 除了服从他之外我别无他法。(摘自《英汉多功能词典》新编升级版p.1199)
