     6）　　I assure you I am more than glad to help you.
     ●　D. 在“More……than……”中，肯定“more”后面的而否定“than”后面的，約等于“是……而不是……”如：

     15）　　A learner can no more obtain knowledge without reading than a farmer can get good harvest without ploughing.“
     “No more………than……”的語義，也可用“not any more than……”來取代，因此 15 可以變成 16.
     16）　　A learner cannot…… any more than ……“同樣的， 17可以變成 18：
     17）　　Dr Hu is no more a poet than Dr Wu is a philosopher.
     18）　　 Dr Hu is not a poet any more than Dr Wu is a philosopher.
     此外，“more than”也在一些慣用語中出現(xiàn)，如：

     20）　　All of us are more than a little concerned about（非常關(guān)心）the current economic problems.
