重点讲解
原句重现:I shouldn't have lost my temper,and I certainly shouldn't have treated you like anything less than a client.
在英语学习中许多学生不能确切区分no more than和not more than这两个短语,让我们来看看它们的区别:
1. 在数量上进行比较时,no more than = only, 作"仅仅;只有"解,有数量少的含义。not more than = at most,作"至多;不超过"解,说明一个事实。如:
(1) in all there are probably no more than a total of 400 tigers left there. 那里所剩的老虎总量也许只有400只。
(2) not more than fifteen students passed the exam. 最多十五名学生通过了这次考试。
2. 在程度上进行比较时,no more than 有"两者都不"之意,not more than有"不及"之意。如:
(1) this film is no more interesting than that one. = neither this film nor that one is interesting. = this film is not interesting. nor / neither is that one. 这部电影不见得比那部电影好看。(即:两者都不好看。)
(2) this novel is not more interesting than that one. = that novel is more interesting than this one. 这部小说不及那部小说有趣。(只强调有趣的程度不同这一事实。)
另外的两个短语not less than与no less than也是比较容易混淆的:
1. 在数量上进行比较,not less than + 基数词表示"不下于;至少;不止"。no less than + 基数词表示"达......之多(言其多)"。如:
(1) there are not less than 40 students in this class. 这个班级至少有40个学生。
(2) no less than 1,000 people were missing in the earthquake. 地震中失踪人数多达一千人。
2. 在程度上进行比较,not less than 表示"不比"。no less than表示"和......一样"。如:
(1) the old copy of the dictionary is not less expensive than the new one. 旧版的词典不比新版的便宜。
(2) she is no less clever than her brother. 她和她哥哥一样聪明。
