How to express a comparison between two elements in two different fields


It can seem a trivial question but I am quite struggling. I would like to
translate a sentence form like this one:

> _**[noun1]** is more/less **[adjective1]** than **[noun2]** is
> **[adjective2]**._




You can turn the adjectives into nouns and compare them like such.

> [noun1] **_の_** [adjective1] **_さは_** 、 [noun2] **_の_** [adjective2]
> **_さより_** ___ 。

For example:

> ジョンさん **の** [賢]{かしこ} **さは** 、メアリーさん **の** [美]{うつく}し **さより** [印象的]{いんしょうてき}だ。
>
> John's cleverness is more impressive than Mary's beauty.

or could be written as:

> ジョンさんの賢さは、メアリーさんの美しさ **を[上回]{うわまわ}っている** 。  
>  ジョンさんの賢さは、メアリーさんの美しさ｛ **に/より** ｝ **[勝]{まさ}っている** 。  
>  ジョンさんの賢さは、メアリーさんの美しさ **より** (も) **[上]{うえ}だ** 。
>
> John's cleverness exceeds Mary's beauty.

using the verb "to exceed". This way still shows that the best way to compare
two elements in different fields is to turn them into nouns and use them as
such.
