高考必背英語(yǔ)詞匯講座 N3

字號(hào):

nothing about the matter. 對(duì)這件事我?guī)缀跻粺o(wú)所知。Next to dancing, I like playing the guitar. 除了跳舞,我最喜歡彈吉它。New York is the largest city next to London. 紐約是僅次于倫敦的城市。 
    4、no more...than, not more...than
    no more...than等于not...any more than,意為“同...一樣不”,意味著兩者都否定。no more后可接名詞,形容詞,副詞或動(dòng)詞;than是從屬連詞,常引出省略的比較狀語(yǔ)從句。兩個(gè)分句的重點(diǎn)往往在前一個(gè)分句,翻譯時(shí)要把分句的次序顛倒,才能表達(dá)出重點(diǎn)來(lái)。例如:A fool can no more see his own folly than he can see his ears. 愚人之不能自知其蠢,如同其不能自見(jiàn)其耳。I am no more fond of playing the guitar than he is. 我和他都不喜歡彈吉他。
    no more than連用,等于not any more than, 其后多接數(shù)詞,表示“只不過(guò)是,僅僅”的意思,相當(dāng)于only。例如:There are no more than ten tickets left. 僅剩下十張票。
    not more... than等于less...than或not so...as,表示“不及,不如;不比...更”的意思,意味著兩者都肯定,但著重點(diǎn)往往在從句,翻譯時(shí)按原來(lái)順序譯出即可。例如:It goes without saying that this subject is not more important than that one. 毋庸質(zhì)疑,這個(gè)問(wèn)題不比那個(gè)問(wèn)題更重要。
    not more than連用,其后也一般接數(shù)詞,表示“不超過(guò)……,至多(=at most)"的意思。例如:I read not more than twenty pages every day. 我
