㈡
no more ...
than
与
no less
than
的结构
⑴
no
more...than
从结构上来看有个变体形式是“not ... any
more than”，表达的意
思是
“同??一样不??”<
/p>
，
表达的是类比关系；
句子在翻译时有两
种方式：
先译主句后译
than
引导的
从句，
“??不能??”，
就如
tha
n
从句中的“不能??一样”；
或者先译
than
引导的
从句后译主句“正如
than
从句中的??不能??”，所以，“??同样不能??”。需要注意
的是
than
后面的句子为肯定形式，但要翻译成
否定的意思。例如：
① The heart is no more
intelligent than the stom
ach, for they
are both controlled
by the brain.
心脏和胃一样都不具有智慧，因为他们都要受大脑控制。
②
Jack is no more diligent than John.
杰克不勤奋，约翰也不勤奋。
注意如下区别：
not
more ... than ...
表“不如??；没有到??的程度”（前者不如
后者）
。
是
more...than.
..
的否定形式。例如：
Jack is not
more diligent than
John.
杰克不如约翰勤奋。
⑵
no
less than
表“不少于；多达”的意思。
例如：
① This book has been translated into no
less than 30 languages.此书已被翻译成多
达
30
种语言。
② The professor
asked us to write the essay with no less than 800
words. 教授要
求我们写一篇不少于
800
字的文章。
㈢
nothing more
than
与
nothing less
than
结构
⑴
因之前所提到过
more than
表示“不仅仅是??”，在
其前面加上否定词
nothing
，则
表示“只不过是??;不仅仅是”的意思。
例如：
There
are
always
concerns
that
traditional
dances
performed
in
a
theatre
are
nothing
more than a spectacl
e.
人们总是认为传统的舞蹈只不过是很壮观而已。
⑵
nothing less
than
是
nothing more than
的反义短语，表示“不亚于?；相当的；简
直是”的意思。
< br>例如：
Our performance in the play
promises to be nothing less than wonderful.
我们在戏
剧中的表演将是相当精彩的。
His
appearance in the show was nothing less than a eve
nt.
他在演出中的亮相简直是
轰动一时的事件。
㈣
rather
than
与
other
than
的区别
考题：
We
are taught a business letter should be written in
a formal style __________ in
a personal
one.
A. rather than B. other than
C. better than
D. less than
解析：
A
。句意：在学校里，老师教
我们商业信函应该采用正式的文体来写，而不是用私人
化的风格来写。可知
rather than “而不是”
较为合适。
例句：
① All parts of the building
other
than the windows are in good cond
itions.
这家
房子除了窗户外，其它的都完好无缺。
②
The
two
reporters
agreed
to
switch
roles
for
once
and
be
the
interviewees
rather
than
the
interviewers
in
order to
let
us
know
about their work
and
how
the
news
we read
is
made.<
/p>
两位记者同意交换一下角色，
做一次被采访者而不是采访者，
以便我们了解他们的工作，
了解我们所见的新闻是怎样制作出来的。
(

由此可见
other
than
相当于
different from
意思是“不同于?；除了??以外其它
的??”；
ra
ther than

better
C. no better than D. no

。
