划词翻译

一、基本释义和用法区别

今天我们来看看三个容易混淆的表达:no more...thannot...any more thannot more...than。它们长得像,用法却不太一样,一起来理清楚吧!

二、no more...thannot...any more than

这两个结构意思一样,都可以翻译成:“和……一样都不……”,也就是说两者都否定,用于强调两个对象都不具备某种能力或特质。

区别是:no more...than 更偏书面语,而 not...any more than 更偏口语。

He is no more able to read Russian than I am.
   他与我一样都不会读俄文。

Your story today is not convincing any more than the one yesterday.
   你今天讲的故事和昨天的一样不令人信服。

He is no more fit to be a minister than a schoolboy would be.
   他和学童一样都不适合做牧师。

三、not more...than

这个结构表示的是比较关系,含义类似于:“不如……;不及……”,这里不是全否定,而是表达程度不如对方。

它和 less...thannot so...as 含义相近。

He is not more diligent than you are.
   他不如你勤奋。

再换一种表达:

He is less diligent than you are.(= not more diligent)
   他比你更不勤奋。

四、口语建议

  • no more...than → 更书面,考试或写作中常用。

  • not...any more than → 更口语,日常交流中更自然。

  • not more...than → 是一个比较结构,不要混淆成双重否定。

五、总结对比

结构含义例句
no more...than和……一样都不……(双重否定)He is no more a poet than I am.
not...any more than与上面意思相同,更口语You’re not helping any more than she is.
not more...than不如……;不及……(比较)He is not more careful than you are.

六、练一练(选填练习)

根据句意选择正确表达:

  • He is ______ likely to lie than a child.(他和孩子一样不可能撒谎。)

  • This machine is ______ efficient than the old one.(这台机器不如旧的高效。)

  • She’s ______ able to fix the car than I am.(她和我一样不会修车。)

 答案分别是:no more / not more / not any more

小结

no more...than = 双重否定(都不)

not more...than = 比较(不如)

not...any more than = 口语型双重否定
