than单词用法语法
不用Than的比较
并不是所有的形容词表示比较时都用than，英语中有几个以-or结尾源于拉丁语的形容词，由于其原级已具有比较的含义，在表示比较时不用than，而用to。这类形容词不多，计有：anterior / prior to（先于），posterior to （在……之后），superior to（优于），inferior to（劣于），junior to（年幼于），senior to（年长于）。
【例如】
This task is prior to all others.
He thinks he is superior to his classmates because his father is a very important people.
The Red Army was inferior in equipment but superior in morale to the enemy.
My arrival in Beijing is posterior to that of our manager.
