Generally speaking, he and she are less likely to be used for lower animals —other than pets—than for higher ones.

other than为复合介词,意为“除了”。other than pets:除了宠物“。(有人将老鼠、蜥蜴、蛇、蜘蛛等当宠物豢养。)other than pets前后的波折号提示其为插入语,是说话人的补充说明,为独立成分。

句子分析:

Generally speaking 评注性状语, he and she主语 are系词 less likely形容词比较级作表语 to be used for lower animal不定式短语作表语形容词的方面状语 —other than pets—插入语 than for higher ones省略了成分的比较状语从句.

译文:一般来说,人称代词he和she较少用于低等动物(宠物除外),而较多用于高等动物。
