请高手求解英文句子中的THAN一些用法疑惑
1.It is difficult,if not impossible,for most people to think otherwise than in the fashion of their own period.要让绝大多数人用不同与他们所处时期的潮流去思考问题,即使并非不可能,也是很难的.
otherwise =in another way .比,超过都不对...还有要用than就要有比较级,也没有.
2.the language is more structured than would be heared in informal conversation (FROM ,UNIT8 PART4 SECTION2)
大概的意思可以理解,但是其中than后面怎么可以有would?要么就是than in informal conversation ,前面插了一个would be heared 不伦不类,句子结构也不完整,请问应该如何解释?

解答
1. than 不是都解释成“比...”的意思,有时候是“而不是”的意思,例如:She likes you rather than him.(她喜欢你而不是他.)这里的otherwise than和rather than, other than 类似.
2. would 在这里是表示一种弱的推测语气,省去会影响原意的表达,意思是:这种语体比你可能在非正式交谈时听到的形式要更加标准.the language is more structured than (would)[ be heared in informal conversation ]那么句子结构应该是这样吗?还有be heared前面不用加关系代词that吗?不加句子结构不是不完整了吗?e.g.the weather in Washington is better than that in London .你分析的结构是正确的。我们都知道,英语总是尽力避免不必要的重复,所以句中有很多承前省略,The language is more structured than (would)[ be heared in informal conversation ],该句would 前面承前省去了the language.the weather in Washington is better than that in London .此句有时也省略that.不对,我分析错了,上次没发现。than比较的同一样东西,这里的than后面跟的是名词,是the language那句子结构就是:the language is more structured than (the language) {would be} [heared in informal conversation]这样圆括号和大括号里的内容都可以省略。如果按原来的分割的话就是than be .....应该不对,这个be其实由would出来的,对吗?可以看成一种省略,因为本来完整的句子是应该有的,准确地说,是由于要保留would而不得已保留be.
