(后面不可接than從句)可用來表示"越來越"。如：

The days are getting longer and longer.白天越來越長了。

He is becoming more and more interested in sports. 他對運動越來越有興趣了。

The more the more 的用法

意思是"越…，就越…"。如：

The harder you work，the more you Will learn.你越努力，就越學得多。

The greater the mass of a body，the greater is its inertia.物體的質量越大，它的慣性就越大。

The more you eat，the fatter you get.你吃得越多，長得越胖。

The more，the better.越多越好。

more than和less than

no more than和not more than

no more than的意思是"只不過"，not more than的意思是"不多于"。試比較：

The experiment was done by not more than 5 persons. 做這個試驗的人不到五個。(沒有"多"或"少"的含義，只是客觀地說明數目)

They cannot do the impossible any more than we can.他們和我們同樣不能做不可能的事情。

He is no more diligent than I am.他和我同樣不勤奮

no less than和not 1ess than

到會的至少有一千人。(沒有"到會人多或人少"的含義)

This song is not less popular than that one.這首歌受歡迎的程度不比那首差。(純粹比較。不一定有"兩首歌都受歡迎"的含義)

All the better和so much the better

這一類的說法都有"因此而更…"的含義。如：

If he will come，so much the better.如果他愿意來，那更好。
