问题描述
▲the more…the more…是英语中的常用句式，比如：
The more haste, the less speed. 欲速则不达。
The more you eat, the fatter you get. 吃得越多，身体越胖。
The more I see of him, the less I like him. 我越是见他，越是不喜欢他。
The more learned a man is, the more modest he usually is. 越是有学问的人，通常越谦虚。
The more expensive petrol becomes, the less people drive. 汽油越贵，开车的人就越少。
The more you know, the more you’ll realize how little you know. 你知道得越多，你就越会体会到你知道得那么有限。
▲我的疑问是：假若这些句子用在从句中，其间要不要用连词或逗号？比如：
1. 老师告诉我欲速则不达。
The teacher told me that the more haste, the less speed.
The teacher told me that the more haste the less speed.
The teacher told me that the more haste and the less speed.
哪句对？
2. 据说吃得越多身体就越胖。
It is said that the more you eat, the fatter you get.
It is said that the more you eat the fatter you get.
It is said that the more you eat and the fatter you get.
哪句对？
老师答疑
童老师：
▲同意刘老师的分析，这些句子无论是单独使用还是用在从句中，其间不要用连词。但补充一点，不用逗号则是可以的（无论是单独使用还是用在从句中）。
1. 老师告诉我欲速则不达。
正：The teacher told me that the more haste, the less speed.
正：The teacher told me that the more haste the less speed.
误：The teacher told me that the more haste and the less speed.
2. 据说吃得越多身体就越胖。
正：It is said that the more you eat, the fatter you get.
正：It is said that the more you eat the fatter you get.
误：It is said that the more you eat and the fatter you get.

****************************
▲“the+比较级...，the+比较级...”结构，属于表示递进关系的复合句。它有如下几个特点：
1. 不需要从属连词。
2. 因为缺少连词，须用逗号把主从句隔开，同时表示停顿。逗号之前的部分为状语从句，之后的部分为主句。
3. 因为是递进关系，主从句的位置不可颠倒。
▲该结构正是因为有上述这些特点，所以，当它充当了“名词性从句”时，（即：主语从句，宾语从句，表语从句和同位语从句）仍然保持原样。例如：
1. It is said that the more you eat, the fatter you get. （充当主语从句）
2. He says that the more you eat, the fatter you get. （充当宾语从句）
3. The fact is that the more you eat, the fatter you get. （充当表语从句）
4. You have ignored the fact that the more you eat, the fatter you get. （充当同位语从句）
