(1)不用于比较,后接数词时,no more than意为“仅仅,只不过,只有”(=only),
而not more than意为“至多,不超过”(=at the most).
eg:There are no more than fifteen eggs in the basket.
篮子里只有15个鸡蛋。(暗指15个鸡蛋太少)
eg:There are not more than fifteen eggs in the basket.
篮子里至多有15个鸡蛋。(暗指可能少于15个)
(2)用语两者的比较时:“no+形容词或副词比较级+than”是对两者的否定,相当于neither...nor...
eg:This story is no more interesting than that one.(=Neither this story nor that one is interesting.)
这个故事和那个故事一样没趣。
not+形容词或副词比较级+than"是普通的比较级结构,表示前者不如后者,相当于not so...as...
eg:This story is not more interesting than that one.(=This story is not so interesting as that one.)
本文详细解析了no more than与not more than在英语语法中的不同含义及使用场景。no more than强调数量之少,not more than则强调数量上限。此外,还介绍了两者在进行比较时的不同用法。
