文档简介

no more than 和not more than 的区别 no more than的意思是“只不过”,not more than的意思是“不多于”。试比较:There are no more than ten tickles left. 剩下不到十张票。 (有“票少”的含义)The experiment was done by not more than 5 persons. 做这个试验的人不到五个。(没有“多”或“少”的含义,只是客观地说明数目)This room is no bigger than that. 这个房间并不比那个大。 (有“两个房间都不大”的含义)This room is not bigger than that one.这个房间不比那个大。 (没有“两个房间都不大或都不小”的含义)注注意not . Any more than或no more.than在下面句子中的用法。如:They cannot do the impossible any more than we can.他们和我们同样不能做不可能的事情。He is no more diligent than I am.他和我同样不勤奋no less than和not less thanno less than的意思是“不亚于”,not less than的意思是“不少于”。试比较:There were no less than a thousand people at the meeting.到会的有一千人之多。(有“到会人多”的含义)There were not less than one thousand people at the meeting.到会的至少有一千人。(没有“到会人多或人少”的含义)This song is no less popular than that one.这首歌之受欢迎不亚于那首歌。(有“两首歌都受欢迎”的含义)This song is not less popular than that one.这首歌受欢迎的程度不比那首差。(纯粹比较。不一定有“两首歌都受欢迎”的含义)more.英语教学和学习中,我们常常对more than, more.than, not more than, no more than这四种结构的用法混淆或使用上出现差错。现将其用法进行归纳整理以便于大家区别使用。 1. more than的用法主要有: 1)用于数词(或相当于数词的词之前),作多于、大于解。如: More than one man was killed. 被杀害的不止一人。 2)作非常,极其解。如: He is more than pleased. 他非常高兴。 They were more than willing to help. 他们非常愿意帮忙。 3)作超出的解。如: I more than saw it, I felt it too. 我不仅仅是看见了它,我都感觉到它了! This is more than I can tell. 那我就不知道了。 2. more.than常用形式为:more X than Y相当于X rather than Y,not so much Y as X,less Y than X等,作与其说是Y不如说是X解。 He is more a scholar than a teacher. 与其说他是位教师毋宁说他是位学者。 He is more brave than wise. 他有勇无谋。 在使用此结构时,要注意其与X rather than Y,not so much Y as X,less Y than X等结构用法的区别。如: He lay rather than sat in his armchair. 与其说他是坐在扶手椅里不如说是躺在里边。 Oceans dont so much divide the world as unite it. 与其说海洋分隔了世界,不如说海洋连接世界。 The child was less hurt than frightened. 这孩子伤倒不算什么,只是受惊不小。 3. not more than有两种用法: 1)后接名词(=at most)作不超过、至多解。 There are not more than five books in the case. 箱子里至多有五本书。 He has learned not more than 100 words. 他学会的词不超过100个。 2)后接从句往往为not more.than形式,作还比不上解。本句型侧重点往往在后一个分句,译成汉语时,仍按原来的语序。 I am not more mad than you. 我哪里像你那么疯。 This book is not more interesting than that one. 这本书不如那本书有趣。 4. no more than=not any more than的使用比较复杂,其情况如下: 1)后接名词(=only)作不过,仅仅解。 He is no more than a puppet. 他不过是个傀儡。 2)后接从句这种结构在不同的语言环境里有三种不同的用法及含义。 A. 作没有比更解,其形式往往为no.more.than。 There is no social problem it is more incumbent upon us to understand than this of the role of custom. (Patterns of Culture, by Ruth Benedict)没有比风俗的作用这种社会问题更迫切需要我们了解。 B. 用于there be和to have这类动词之后,作一样多解。 He has no more money than you have. 他的钱和你一样多。 C. 作同一样不解,相当于not.just as.not。本句型侧重点往往在前一个分句,译成汉语时通常要把分句的次序颠倒,才能表达出重点来。 The whale is no more a fish than the dog is. =The whale is not a fish just as the dog is not a fish. 如同狗一样,鲸也不是鱼。 You can no more swim than I can fly. =You can not swim just as I can not fly. 你不能游泳正如我不能飞行一样。 学习中尤其要注意no more.than和not more.than的区别: no more.than含有消极,否定的意味,译为A与B都不,不也不等。 not more.than含有积极,肯定的意味,表示程度上的差异。比较: He is no more diligent than you. 你不勤奋,他也不勤奋。(两人都不勤奋) He is not more diligent than you. 他没有你那么勤奋。(意指两个人都勤奋,但你更勤奋) She is no more a teacher than a worker. 她既不是工人,也不是教师。She is not more a teacher than a worker. 说她是个教师,倒不如说她是个工人。no more.than含有消极,否定的意味,译为A与B都不,不也不等。 not more.than含有积极,肯定的意味,表示程度上的差异。这两个短语在意义上是不相同的。 1)后面接数词时,no more than相当于only,是“仅仅,只不过”的意思;not more than相当于at most,是“至多,不超过”的意思。前者强调少,后者说明事实。 2)后面接比较状语从句时,no more than的意思是“和同样不”,not more than的意思是“不比更”,“不及”。试比较: Jack is no more diligent than John. 杰克也和约翰一样不勤奋。(=Neither Jack nor John is diligent.) Jack is not more diligent than John. 杰克不如约翰勤奋。(=Jack is not as diligent as John.) More than的用法A. “More than名词”表示“不仅仅是” 1) Modern science is more than a large amount of information. We need more than material wealth to build our country.建设我们国家,不仅仅需要物质财富.B. “More than数词”含“以上”或“不止”之意,如: 1) I have known David for more than 20 years. More than one person has made this suggestion. 不止一人提过这个建议.C. “More than形容词”等于“很”或“非常”的意思,如: 1) In doing scientific experiments, one must be more than careful with the instruments. D. more than + (that)从句,其基本意义是“超过(=over)”,但可译成“简直不”“远非”. 难以,完全不能(其后通常连用情态动词 can)-That is more than I can understand . 那非我所能懂的.-That is more than I can tell. 那事我实在不明白。-The heat there was more than he could stand. 那儿的炎热程度是他所不能忍受的此外,“more than”也在一些惯用语中出现,如: -More often than not (经常),people tend to pay attention to what they can take rather than what they can give. -All of us are
