no more than的用法及其他

no more than的用法及其他

no more than的用法及其他这类习语比较多,而且形式相似,若不真正弄懂其本质,很容易弄混。

关于这些习语,最关键的要弄清两个习语的用法,就是not more than和no more than,前者属于more tha n的否定式,more than意为“多于”,所以not more than的意思就是“不多于”“不超过”;no more than主要强调more的反面,即强调数量之少或程度之低,如说no more than 10 days,其意为“只有10天”,在说话者心目中,10 days是一个较低的数字,有类似“跟1 0天一样少”之意;又如He gave no more than five dollars,其意为“他只给我5美元”,在说话者心目中,five dollars是一笔很少的钱,有类似“跟5美元一样少”之意。

类似地,我们说no richer than,则强调的是richer的反面,其意为“跟……一样穷”,若说no fast er than,则强调faster的反面,其意为“跟……一样慢”。

因为同样的道理,我们可以推知,no less than强调的是less的反面,即强调多,强调数量之多或程度之大,如说no less tha n 10 days,意为“多达10天”,在说话者心目中,10 days是一个较大的数字。

比较He earned no more than 800 dollars a month. 他一个月只挣800美元。

(在说话者看来,800 dollars是一笔较少的数,他这样说带有轻视的意味)He earned no less than 800 dollars a month. 他一个月就挣800美元。

(在说话者看来,800 dollars是很大一笔数,他这样说带有羡慕的意味)no more than no less thanno more than同样不;仅仅,只有1)He is no more than a worker. 他仅仅是个工人。

morethan,notmorethan,nomorethan,nolessthan,notlessthan,otherthan,ratherthan解读

morethan,notmorethan,nomorethan,nolessthan,notlessthan,otherthan,ratherthan解读

More than 用法一、more than 后跟形容词、副词、分词、动词、名词,more than 起强调作用,含义是more than 后的形容词、副词、分词、动词、名词的分量不足以反应实际情况而加以说明,汉语意思是:“十分,非常,岂止,简直,不仅仅,绰绰有余”。

例如:I am more than content with what you said. 我对你的讲话十分满意。

She was dressed more than simply. 她穿着太朴素了。

Being a good listener means much more than just listening with ears.做一个好的听者不仅仅意味着“用耳朵听”。

Peace is much more than the absence of war. 和平不仅仅是没有战争。

can't agree more、A doctor can't be too careful. A kid can never have too many toys.小孩永远不会嫌玩具多。

二、more than / more …than 跟含can 的从句,这种结构不能照字面来翻译。

more than 之后的从句里,英语里虽是肯定形式,却表示否定概念。

more than …can …的结构意为“简直不可能”;“more …than …can …”的结构意为“达到不可能的程度”。

How he manages to live is more than I can tell. 他怎样生活的,我简直猜不透。

He has more money than he can spend. 他有花不完的钱。

more than 和 less than的用法小结

more than 和 less than的用法小结

笔者在此将其分别归类,以供同学们在学习中参考。

例如:Altogether more than 70 percent of the surface of our planet is covered by water. 整体说来,我们这个星球表面有 70% 以上都为水所覆盖。

2. more than 可放在名词之前,表示“不只是;不仅仅”。

例如:Hibernation is more than sleep. 冬眠不仅仅是睡眠。

4. more than 之后接含有 can 的从句时,常表示否定意义。

此时,从句中的谓语动词必须是及物动词,并且与句子的主语呈现逻辑上的动宾关系。

例如:This secret is more than we can let out. 这个秘密我们是不能泄露的。

(主语 secret 是 let out 的逻辑宾语)比较: less than 后面接形容词、副词时,意为“不;很少;不到”,具有否定意义。

例如a) We were busy and less than delighted to have company that day.那天我们很忙,不高兴有客人来。

十陷阱题分析1. How beautifully she sings!I have never heard voice. A.a better B. a best C. the better D. the best 【陷阱】容易误选D,认为最高级前要用定冠词。

【分析】其实此题最佳答案为A。

该句可视为I have never heard a better voice than her voice 之省略,全句句意为“她唱得多好啊!我从未听过她这么好的声音”。

请再看以下类似的实例:He is fine,never better. 他很好,比以往任何时候都好。

This bird is really lovely. I’ve never seen a finer one. 这只鸟真可爱,我从未见过这样好看的鸟。

比较以下试题,情形也大致相同:(1)“I’ve never found a better job.”“.” A. I don’t think so B. Too bad C. Congratulations D. Don’t worry 答案选C。
