📘 English Definition（英文释义）
- conj. A particle expressing comparison, used after certain
- adjectives and adverbs which express comparison or diversity, as more,
- better, other, otherwise, and the like. It is usually followed by the
- object compared in the nominative case. Sometimes, however, the object
- compared is placed in the objective case, and than is then considered
- by some grammarians as a preposition. Sometimes the object is expressed
- in a sentence, usually introduced by that; as, I would rather suffer
- than that you should want.
- adv. Then. See Then.
