单选题
In her mind, Peter was ______ than his elder brother. A. more of a businessman B. a businessman more C. a more businessman D. more businessman
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解析] more of...than“比……在更大程度上是”,more of常用于修饰可数名词单数(more of A...)。more of A...than用于对同一人或物的比较,如:She's more of a singer than a guitarist. 可译为“与其说她是位吉他手,还不如说她是位歌唱家”。用于对两个人或物的比较时,如本题,可译为“在她看来,彼得比他哥哥更是一个名副其实的企业家”。注意区分:more of+名词表示“更大程度上的……”,more+名词表示“更多的……”。
