先出個選擇題考考大家，哈哈

A whale is ____ a fish than a horse is.

A. less

B. more

C. no more

D. not much of

no more/-er than，表示該形容詞或副詞的相反含義，意思是“與……一樣不”。

這句話的意思是鯨和馬都不是魚,答案是C

圖片發(fā)自簡書App

1. More (less) ... than ...，意為“與其說......倒不如說......”。

e.g. He is more a scholar than a teacher.

與其說他是教師，不如說他是名學(xué)者。

2. no more/-er than，表示該形容詞或副詞的相反含義，意思是“與……一樣不”。

e.g. John is no better than Mary.

約翰和瑪麗 都 不好。

我們來理解一下這幾個表達(dá)：

no richer than = as poor as

no bigger than = as small as

no later than = as early as

學(xué)習(xí)了上面兩組表達(dá)方法以后，你能區(qū)分下面這兩句話嗎？

Mary is no more a good student than John is.

兩個 都不是 好學(xué)生。

Mary is not much of a good student than John is.

John是好學(xué)生， Mary 沒 John好。
