一、but可被看作关系代词,引导定语从句,在句中作主语,在意义上相当于 who not或that not,即用在否定词或具有否定意义的词后,构成双重否定。
如:①There is no mother but loves her children.没有不爱自己孩子的母亲。
②There was no one present but knew the story already.在场的人都知道这个故事。
二、than作关系代词时,一般用在形式为比较级的复合句中,其结构为形容词比较级(more)...than+从句,than在从句中作主语,相当于that,代表它前面的先行词。(这时,它兼有连词和代词的性质,也有学者认为这种用法的than是连词,后面省略了主语what。)
如:①The indoor swimming pool seems to be a great deal more luxious than is necessary.室内游泳池过于豪华。
②He got more money than was wanted.他得到了更多的钱。 运用上述知识翻译下列句子:
