比较结构中的三个问题有网友问,下面两句话是什么意思?1. They cannot do the impossible any more than we can.2. He is no more diligent than I am.句(1)的意思是:他们和我们同样不能做不可能的事情。(the impossible 指“不可能的事情”,相当于 the impossible things)句(2)的意思是:他不比我勤奋多少。(意味着:我们俩人都不勤奋。)句(1)“not...any more than”是一种比较结构,意味着主句和比较从句全都否定。翻译时,可灵活掌握。例如:He does not like classical music any more than I do. 他和我一样都不喜欢古典音乐。He can not speak French any more than I can. 他不会说法语,我也不会。This is not my job any more than it is yours. 这不是你的工作,同样也不是我的工作。He is not a poet any more than I am a scholar. 我不是一个学者,他也不是一个诗人。Man cannot live without food any more than plants can grow without sunshine. 人没有食物不能生存,植物没有阳光也不能生长。句(2)“no + 比较级 + than”也是一种比较结构。这种结构与第一种情况相同,也是全部否定。注意“no +比较级”分两种拼写情况:1. no taller than... 少音节的形容词副词后加-er,注意:不可出现 no more tall than 或者 no more taller than 的情况。例如:This room is no bigger than that. 这个房间与那间都不大。His grammar is no better than mine. 他的语法同我的一样不好。He is no taller than I. (He is as short as I. ) 他和我一样个子都不高。2. no more beatiful than... 多音节的形容词副词前加 more,例如:He is no more hard working than she is.他跟她一样都不用功。Tom was no more surprised than (he was) disappointed at this news. 汤姆听见那消息既不惊讶也不失望。He is no more considerate of others than his brother is. 他不体谅别人,就跟他弟弟一样。She is no less hard working than he is.他跟她一样都很用功。这属于双重否定,等于肯定,再补充两句:He is no less clever than his elder brother. 他和他的大哥一样聪明。She is no less good at swimming than Mary. ...
