[ 注意 ]:more ... than ...
1)she is more beautiful than her sister.她比她姐姐漂亮。
2)George is more intelligent than aggressive. 与其说乔治言行放肆,不如说他聪颖过人。
以上第 1)句是 more... than 结构的一般用法 ,US$169.00 Details,即在两个不同的事物之间就同一方面作比较;而第 2)句是就同一个人的两个不同方面作比较。因此要译成“与其说还不如说”。
more...than结构在上述 1) 2)两句中的用法也适用于less ... than结构,得出相反的含义:
例如:
1)John is less daring than quick-witted. 与其说约翰胆大,不如说他脑子灵活。
2)George was less intelligent than aggressive. 与其说乔治聪颖过人,不如说他言行放肆。
