英语单词用法区别:no more,no longer,not any more,not any longer的区别?
一、 no longer与no more的意义区别
1.no longer中的longer是副词long的比较级,long有after a certain point of time(在某一时刻以后)之意,着重表示时间的不再延续,意为“如今不再”.no longer等于not...any longer.
2.no more中的more是many / much的比较级,more有again之意,着重表示数量或程度的减少,意为“再也没有更多(大)的数量(程度)”.no more等于not...any more.
二、时态区别
1.no longer / not...any longer表示不再继续或再现过去某一时刻发生或存在而一直延续的动作 / 状态时,常用于过去时、现在时或将来时的句子中.如:
He was no longer a thief.他不再是小偷了.
When there is no gravity,our feet no longer stay on the ground.如果没有重力,我们的脚就不能再站稳在地面上.
2.no more / not...any more表示再也不重复过去反复发生的动作时,常用于过去时或将来时的句子中.如:
Now she wasn't afraid any more.现在她再也不害怕了.
三、位置区别
当修饰动词时,no longer通常置于be或行为动词前;no more一般置于行为动词后.not...any longer与not...any more常置于句末.如:
She could no longer find a way to get into the valley.她再也找不到进山谷的路了.
Time or opportunity lost will return no more.机不可失,时不再来.
四、修饰动词区别
1.no longer / not...any longer 习惯用来修饰表示状态的持续动词(如wait,live,work等).如:
Don't wait any longer.别再等了.

2.no more / not...any more通常用来修饰表示具体动作的瞬间动词(如go,stand,visit等).如:

五、作用区别
两者都可用来修饰动词,在句中作状语.当no more作“不再(有、存在)”解时,还可作定语和宾语.如:
Later when they are far away from the earth and there is no more gravity,they find they are unable to stay in one place.过后,当他们远离地球,到了不再有地球引力的地方时,他们发现自己不可能停留在一个地方不动.(作定语)
