汤姆和迈克一样高为什么不是汤姆没有迈克高
答
no+比较级+ than意为“与…一样不”,否定两者,大致相当于该比较级形容词或副词的反义词.
例如:
1)a.This box is not bigger than that one.这个盒子不如那个盒子大.
b.This box is no bigger than that one.这个盒子与那个盒子一样不大.(=This box is as small as that one.)
2)a.He didn't arrive earlier than Mary.他没有玛丽来得早.
b.He arrived no earlier than Mary.他与玛丽一样来得不早.(=He arrived as late as Mary.)
类例:no taller than=as short as 一样矮
no more clever than=as foolish as一样蠢
注意以下句型也属类似情况:no more than表示对两者都否定,意为“同…一样不”(=neither …nor):
He's no more a writer than a painter.他不是画家,也不是作家(正如他不是画家一样,他也不是作家).(=He is nei-ther a painter nor a writer.)
A whale is no more a fish than a horse.马不是鱼,鲸也不是鱼(正如马不是鱼一样,鲸也不是鱼).(Neither a horse nor a whale is a fish.)
