It is unreasonable to incarcerate anyone for any other reason than that he or she is a serious threat to the property or lives of other people.
在这句中的“than” 是什么意思？为什么前面没有比较？
我觉得是不是应该是rather than?

希望会的同学能够指导一下。。
大致的意思明白这是不合理的去囚禁任何因为他对其他的生命和财产有严重的威胁。。。(这是根据上下文推测出来的)
但是 for any other reason than. 到底指的是什么。。不清楚。。

谢谢。。。谢谢

我来试着翻一下，呵呵

除了他或她严重威胁到了其他人的的财产和生命，没有任何其他的理由去监禁任何人，这是不合理的。

谢谢 slgbond 我明白了。理解成other than 为以外就行了。。

除了他或她严重威胁到了其他人的的财产和生命，这以外的任何原因来监禁他都是不合理的。

照题目的理解好像也是这样.
44. Legal theorist: It is unreasonable to incarcerate anyone for any other reason than that he or she is a serious threat to the property or lives of other people. The breaking of a law does not justify incarceration, for lawbreaking proceeds either from ignorance of the law or of the effects of one’s actions, or from the free choice of the lawbreaker. Obviously mere ignorance cannot justify incarcerating a lawbreaker, and even free choice on the part of the lawbreaker fails to justify incarceration, for free choice proceeds from the desires of an agent, and the desires of an agent are products of genetics and environmental conditioning, neither of which is controlled by the agent
