参考来源:
"Than before" 是一个英语比较短语,字面意思是"比之前",用于强调当前状态与过去状态的对比变化。以下从三个层面详细解析:
核心语义
由比较连词"than"和时间副词"before"组成,整体表达"与过去相比更..."的递进含义。例如:"Now the air quality is better than before"(现在空气质量比之前更好)。这种结构省略了具体比较对象,默认指向过去某一时间点。
语法特征
• 常接在形容词/副词比较级之后:"She speaks English more fluently than before"
• 主句时态多为现在时或现在完成时:"Prices have risen faster than before"
• 可替代重复的完整时间状语,避免冗余(如不说"than it was before")
同义替换
根据语境可替换为"than previously"(更正式)、"than in the past"(强调长期变化)或"than [具体时间段]"(如than last year)。注意:"than ever before" 强调"史上最...",语气更强烈。
典型误用提醒:该短语不可单独使用,必须依附于比较级结构。错误示例:❌"This method is effective than before" → 正确应为"This method ismore effective than before"。
