题目

英语翻译
Other people disgree and think that successful sports stars make more than is fair.
more than is fair 按照上下文的意思这里应该是不公平 怎么是fair呢?

答案

than is fair是一个定语从句,than是关系代词充当主语成分
译：其他人持不同意见,他们认为那些成功的体育明星挣的钱比公平的高出许多.
eg:He drinks more than is healthy for his body.
他喝了太多酒,对他身体不好.（他不该喝那么多酒）
You spent more money than was intended to be spent.
你花的钱超出了原来的打算.
通常but和than是放在一起讲的.
eg:There is no man but feels pity for starving children.
= There is no man who does not feel pity for starving children
没有人不同情那些嗷嗷待哺的孩子
There is not one of us but wishes to help you.
= There is not one of us that does not wish to help you.
我们没有一个人不想帮助你
