no more than和not more than的区别,在用法上有什么不同?谢谢
解答: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。试比较:
There are no more than ten tickets left. 只剩下十张票了。(表示不多了)
There are not more than ten tickets left. 剩票不超过十张。(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.)
