1. But the Internet has done much more than simply make life more convenient. 来自人教版必修二课文
2. He or she is more likely to meet personally than write a letter. 来自2017专八听力
第二个句子我理解或许是than(he or she is likely to ) write a letter. 第一个句子不懂为啥than后要用原型。
2 He or she is more likely to meet personally than (he or she is) (to) write a letter.
省略了不定式符号to. more likely为比较项,不可在从句重复,即从句不能再出现likely。
1 But the Internet has done much more than simply make life more convenient.
do/did/have done more than (just/simply)+不带to的不定式:不止做某事
be doing more than (just/simply) + doing : 不仅仅在做某事。
这是一种习语性用法,不要再分析than后省略了什么,记住这种用法,理解其意义即可。下面为更多类似例句,注意谓语动词为非进行体时,than后都是不带to的不定式。
Halpern argues that women did more than just complain about this inequality--they challenged the patriarchal structure of the farm in many ways.
But the reality is that Apple did more than create a device with its original MP3s.
Technology has done more than improve energy efficiency.
但如果谓语动词do为进行体,则than后用doing形式,例如:
By changing the way a 106-year-old company runs, Barra is doing more than working to make better cars.
Global warming is doing more than heating the planet and potentially threatening our lives.
But, SportClips is doing more than just offering free haircuts to support our troops.
