譯文
《中樞神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)頻譜》上發(fā)表的這項(xiàng)新研究以針對全國2500多名成年人進(jìn)行的一項(xiàng)電話調(diào)查結(jié)果為依據(jù)。
點(diǎn)睛
本句的主干是study was based on results。第一個(gè)of到句尾構(gòu)成一個(gè)介詞短語，作results的定語，其中of more than 2,500 adults這個(gè)短語又是survey的定語。
be based on的意思是“以……為基礎(chǔ)或根據(jù)”。如：
The film was based on a true story. 這部電影是根據(jù)真實(shí)故事改編的。
more than的意思是“超過，比……更多的”。如：
More than one politician was murdered. 不止一名政客被殺害。
考點(diǎn)歸納
more本身表示“更（多）”，除表示比較概念外，還常用于以下搭配之中：
more often than not意為“往往，通常”。如：
More often than not, anger is just an indication of weakness. 憤怒往往只是軟弱的體現(xiàn)。
more...than...意為“與其說……倒不如說……”。如：
You're more stupid than misled. 與其說你被誤導(dǎo)了，倒不如說你愚蠢。
no more than意為“正是，僅僅”。如：
She's no more than a waitress. 她不過是個(gè)服務(wù)員。
