Unit 2 English around the world 重点短语
1. more than one
意为“不止一个”,虽然在意义上表示复数,但作主语或修饰主语时,谓语动词用单数,与many a(许多)用法一样;如果more修饰复数可数名词再跟than one作主语时,其谓语动词则要用复数。
More than one member has protested against the proposal.
不止一个成员反对这个建议。
More than one person has been concerned in this.
这里面涉及的不仅是一个人。
More persons than one have been involved.
涉及的不仅仅是一个人。
联想拓展
“more than+ adj.”意为“很;非常”。
在“more ... than ...”中,肯定“more”后面的,而否定“than”后面的,意为“是……而不是……”或者“与其……不如……”。
“more than ... can/could”是英语里的一个常见结构,可把more than理解为not,表示否定,该结构意为“非……所能……;是……所不能……;不是……所能……”。
more often than not 经常;往往
In doing scientific experiments, one must be more than careful with the instruments.
做科学实验时,对待仪器必须非常小心才行。

2. because of
因为;由于是介词短语,后跟名词、代词或动名词及what从句。
She got hurt because of what you’d said.
她因为你的话而受到伤害。
due to 意为“由于”常作表语,也作后置定语和状语。
thanks to 意为“多亏;由于”只作状语。
owing to 意为“由于”常作状语。
as a result of 意为“由于”作状语。
易混辨析:because/as/since/for
because表示直接原因,语气最强。回答why提出的问题只能用because。在强调句型中,也只能用because。
as用于解释做某事的原因,语气较弱,通常位于主句前。
since表示的原因是指人们已知的事实,常意为“既然”。语气比because弱,但比as强。通常位于主句前,并常与as换用。
for并列连词,连接并列分句,表示一种补充说明,是推测或判断的理由,语气较弱,不可位于主句前。有时可表示直接原因,相当于because。
3. come up

4. such as
例如……;像这样的
易混辨析:such as/for example/that is/and so on
such as用来列举事物。通常插在被举例的带有解释性质的事物与前面的需要进行解释的名词之间,意为“比如;诸如……之类的”,可与 like 互换,as 后不能有逗号。
for example同for instance一样起到补充说明的作用,表明在众多的内容中仅取一两个例子,可放在举例之前或之后,意为“例如,举个例子”。
that is 是后面列举的事物的总量等于它前面所提到的总和,相当于namely。也用that is to say。
and so on 对几个事物进行列举时,在说了其中的几个以后,用and so on进行概括,说明还有例子,但不一一列出。
