这句话是什么意思?请帮忙翻译并分析no more..than 是什么意思
We move incessantly, sometimes for reasons no more profound than to be close to a
favorite trout stream or sophisticated nightlife

整句 我们搬个不停,有时没有更深刻的原因比接近
最喜欢的鳟鱼溪流或复杂的夜生活
no more..than 没有更深刻的比

我们搬个不停,有时没有更深刻的原因比接近最喜欢的鳟鱼溪流或复杂的夜生活

We move incessantly, sometimes for reasons no more profound than to be close to a favorite trout stream or sophisticated nightlife
译文:我们经常搬家,而搬家的原因呢,有时仅仅是为了能靠近一条鲑鱼游来游去的河流,或是到一个夜生活丰富多彩的地方而已.
no more(...)than与not more(...)than 的用法区别:
(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.)
