与其说倒不如说的英语短语是?并用它举个例子,

1,sb/sth is more A than B表示“与其说sb/sth是B,不如说是A”
eg:He is more an artist than a philosopher.
与其说他是位哲学家,不如说他是位艺术家.
sb/sth is more A than B表示“与其说sb/sth是B,不如说是A”
eg:He is not more an artist than a philosopher.
与其说他是位艺术家,不如说他是位哲学家
2,例Science moves forward,they say,not so much through the insights of great men of genius as because of more ordinary things like improved techniques and tools.(1994年真题)
分析：本句属于比较结构,含有一个比较结构not so much...as“与其说……不如说”.they为插入语.through the insights of great men of genius和because of more ordinary things为两个状语.like improved techniques and tools为介词短语作定语,修饰things.
译文：他们说,科学的发展与其说源于天才伟人的真知灼见,不如说源于改进了的技术和工具等更为普通的东西.下面这两句中是接句子的,
1.他去法国与其说是观光不如说去考察.
He go to France not so much for sightseeing as for inspection.
2.他与其说是吃了早饭不如说只吃了几口.
He - ried his breakfast rather than ate it.最重要的一句是not only....but also.
