more

1.more than one后面通常接属于单数形式的名词和动词。例如：More than one man has told me so. 但There are more than one man here和There is more than one man here都可以说。

2.in more than one way当然不错，有时也说in more ways than one。但很少说more men than one, more books than one, more houses than one等。

3.more than fifty是“50多个”，fifty more是“另外的50个”。决不可把fifty more和sixty more等用作“50多个”和“60多个”等解。fifty men more比fifty more men普通。

4.more than fifty men比fifty men and more普通。没有人说fifty and more men。

5.fifty men and more, a week and more, five miles and more等表达方式里的and有时改用or。

6.a week ago and（或or）more比a week and（或or）more ago普通。

7.more better, more older等表达方式不算正当，该避免，如不该说This is more better than that和He is more older than she，该把more删去。

但有时不得不用more better，more older等。例如假定B比A好，便是B is better than A，C比B好，便是C is better than B，说C比A好的程度，比C比B好的程度高，该说C is more better than A than (it is better) than B。说C比A好的程度，比B比A好的程度高，该说C is more better than A than B is (better than A)。这种结构当然是绝无仅有的，但在必须用它的时候却不可避免。比较下面三句：

• C is better than B, and more better than A.
• B is better than A, and C is more better (than A than B is).
• B is better than A, and C is still better (than B).

依照上面所说，有时竟会必须用more more。例如：

• C is more interesting than B, and more more interesting than A.
• B is more interesting than A, and C is more more interesting (than A than B is).

同样地，有时必须用more less，less more或less less。例如：

• A is less interesting than B, and more less interesting than C.
• C is more interesting than A and less more interesting than B.
• A is less interesting than C, and less less interesting than B.

8.比较下面每组里的三句：

• This window is wider than that.
  This window is higher than that.
  This window is more wide than high.
• She is kinder than her sister.
  She is more intelligent than her sister.
  She is more kind than intelligent.
• He is more hungry than he was an hour ago.
  He is more thirsty than he was an hour ago.
  He is more hungry than thirsty.

9.much more serious consideration可能有四个意思：

（1）许多更严肃的考虑（much是形容词，more是副词）；

（2）许多另外的严肃的考虑（much是形容词，more也是形容词）；

（3）（比原来）多得多的严肃的考虑（much是副词，more是形容词）；

（4）（比原来）严肃得多的考虑（much是副词，more也是副词）。在理论上可以说much more much more serious consideration（1.许多另外的［比原来］严肃得多的考虑。2.［比原来］多得多的［比原来］严肃得多的考虑），在事实上是绝无仅有的。

10.of whom more presently，of whom more later on等表达方式里的more作more will be said解。
