no other 比较级
表示“比较意义”的 than,很少单独使用,一般前面都有比较级。除此之外,than 有时可以跟表示“排除”意义的词语连用,这时前面无需使用比较级。也就是说,没有比较级的时候,多用于different, else, other, no other, none other, otherwise, anywhere,rather than,would rather...than 等之后,表示“排除”意义。
例如: I have a different car than this one. 除了这辆车外,我还有一辆不同的车。
She has no other friend than Jane. 除了简以外,她没有别的朋友。
It was none other than the professor. 不是别人,正是教授本人。
The student is otherwise than his teacher thought. 那个学生并不是老师想像的那种人。
You won't find such freedom anywhere than in our country. 这种自由除我们国家以外其他地方找不到。
You are buying direct, rather than through an agent. 你这是直接购买,而不是通过代理人。
