1．幾個典型例句
(1) ... not so much...... as (but) ...  與其說……還不如說……
(2) ... not so much that.....as (but) that......  與其說…還不如說……
(3) ... not so much as.... (=not even)  甚至于不…，連…也不……
(4) ... might as well ... as.....    與其說……還不如說……
例1：He is not so much a teacher as a scholar.
譯文：與其說他是老師，還不如說是學者。（注意翻譯時動作的對象）
例2：It wasn"t so much his appearance I liked as his personality.
譯文：與其說我喜歡他的外表，不如說我喜歡他的品格。
例3：It"s not so much that I don"t want to come but I just haven"t got the time.
    譯文：倒不是因為我不想來，而是我根本沒有時間。
    例4：He didn"t so much as say thank you after all we"d done for him.
    譯文：我們為他干了那么多事，他甚至連謝謝都沒有說一聲。
    例5：You might as well throw your money into the sea as lend it to him.
    譯文：與其將錢借給他，還不如把錢丟進大海。（注意翻譯時動作的對象）
    [注意]：more ... than ...
    1) she is more beautiful than her sister. 她比她姐姐漂亮。
    2) George is more intelligent than aggressive. 與其說喬治言行放肆，不如說他聰穎過人。
    以上第1)句是more... than結構的一般用法，即在兩個不同的事物之間就同一方面作比較；而第2)句是就同一個人的兩個不同方面作比較。因此要譯成“與其說……還不如說……”。
    more...than結構在上述1) 2)兩句中的用法也適用于less ... than結構，得出相反的含義：
    例如：
    1) John is less daring than quick-witted. 與其說約翰膽大，不如說他腦子靈活。
    2) George was less intelligent than aggressive. 與其說喬治聰穎過人，不如說他言行放肆。

    區別：
    all but 幾乎，差一點，除……以外其余都是
    but for要不是
    but that+從句：若不是……
    例1：She all but fainted when she heard the news.
    譯文：她聽到這一消息時幾乎暈倒了。
    注：此句中a11 but意為nearly，almost。
    試對比：
    All but the little children thought that the trip was exciting．
    譯文：除了小孩，大家都認為這次旅行是激動人心的。
    此句中all but意為a11 except。

    5．not more / -er than 與 no more / -er than 結構
    比較：
    John is not better than Tom.
    John is no better than Tom.
    前一句表示“約翰不比湯姆好”，屬于普通的比較結構；后一例用了no 情況就不同了。no better than 相當于as bad as，含義是兩人一樣壞。這里，“no + 形容詞或副詞比較級 + than”所表示的可以說是該形容詞或副詞的反意。

    5．not more / -er than 與 no more / -er than 結構
    比較：
    John is not better than Tom.
    John is no better than Tom.
    前一句表示“約翰不比湯姆好”，屬于普通的比較結構；后一例用了no 情況就不同了。no better than 相當于as bad as，含義是兩人一樣壞。這里，“no + 形容詞或副詞比較級 + than”所表示的可以說是該形容詞或副詞的反意。

例如： no richer than = as poor as  和……一樣窮
    no bigger than = as small as 和……一樣小
    no later than = as early as   和……一樣早
    同樣地：
    I have not taken more than six courses this semester.
    I have taken no more than six courses this semester.
    前一句的含義是本學期選的課不多于六門；后一句的含義是只選了六門。強調“少”。
    上述結構與表示前后都否定的no more...than (= not...any more than)又有所不同：
    例：A whale is no more a fish than a horse is.（鯨和馬同樣不是魚。）
    另外，在某些結構中，單獨使用more than 也能表示否定概念：
    例1：That is more than I can tell. 我簡直不能說。
    例2：My trip to Beijing is more than sightseeing. 我去北京不僅僅是旅游觀光而已。
    6．no more...than... (= not...any more than) 和……—樣都不……(表示前后都否定)
    例1：The heart is no more intelligent than the stomach, for they are both controlled by the brain.  心臟和胃一樣都無智力可言，因為它們都是由大腦控制的。
    例2：There is no reason they should limit how much vitamin you take, any more than they can limit how much water you drink．
    譯文：他們沒有理由限制你服用多少維他命，就像他們不能限制你喝多少水一樣。
    例3：More and more Afro-Americans see him as a tricky enemy who has no more love for them than he has for the Congolese．
    譯文：越來越多的美國黑人認識到他是個詭計多端的敵人。他仇視美國黑人，正像他仇視剛果人民一樣。(直譯：…，他不愛美國黑人，正像他不愛剛果人一樣。)
    注釋：not...any more than是no more...than的一種強調形式。
    例如：
    1) Jack is no more intelligent than John. (=Jack is not intelligent any more than John.)
    杰克與約翰一樣都不聰明。
    2) A man can no more fly than a bird can speak. (=A man cannot fly any more than a bird can speak.) 人不會飛翔，就像鳥不會說話一樣。
    3) As a nation, the French are no more eager to 1earn about their wartime failings than are the Japanese. (=As a nation，the French are not eager to learn about their wartime failings any more than are the Japanese.)
    作為一個國家，法國正如日本一樣不積極地從他們的戰爭失敗中吸取教訓。
    上述例句表明，no more...than并不表示比較，而是表示比喻，含有比喻意義的比較級用于否定時，than后面的從句不用否定式，但譯成漢語時要用否定式。而與上述句型意義相反的是：no less...than，意為：“和……同樣是……”。例如：

例如： no richer than = as poor as  和……一樣窮
    no bigger than = as small as 和……一樣小
    no later than = as early as   和……一樣早
    同樣地：

Human is no less an animal than a monkey is. 人和猴都是動物。
    而no less than 的意思為：“簡直是，實在是”，例如：

    2) It is no less than a scandal. 這實在是一件丑聞。
    7．not nearly (=by no means，far from) 遠不
    例1: The food supply will not increase nearly enough to match this, which means that we are heading into a crisis in the matter of producing and marketing food.
    譯文：食品供應將遠遠趕不上人口的增長，這就意味著我們在糧食的生產和購銷方面正面臨危機。
    注：1) this是指上面提到的“到21世紀初世界人口將增加到60億或70億”。2) 又如：There are not nearly enough people here to do the job．(這里的人手遠遠不夠承擔這項工作。)
    8．“更不用說”的表示法：
    much less
    still less
    以上兩短語引導的詞組或從句，表示一種追加的否定，less是由little的比較級，所以這兩個詞組只能用于否定句中，可譯為“更不用說，更不必說”。
    to say nothing of
    not to speak of
    not to mention
    let alone
    這四個詞組也意為 “更不用說”，也是一種追補的說法。但它們與much less和still less有所不同。這些詞組可以隨前一句的意思而定，即前一句是肯定，則追加的也是肯定意義；如果前一句是否定，則追加的是否定意義
    例1：I could not agree to, much less participate in such proceedings.
    譯文：我不能同意這種行為，更談不上參加這些行動了。
    例2：He knows little of mathematics, and still less of chemistry．
    譯文：他幾乎不懂數學，更不用說化學了。
    例3：I did not even see him, still less (= much less) shake hands with him.
    譯文：我看也沒有看見過他，哪里還談得上同他握手呢?
    例4：In old China, here was hardly any machine-building industry, to say nothing of an electronic industry.
    譯文：在舊中國，幾乎沒有什么機器制造工業，更不用說電子工業了。
    例5：Sally takes singing and dancing lessons, to say nothing of swimming and tennis lessons.
    譯文：莎莉學了唱歌和舞蹈課，而且還學了游泳和網球課。
    例6：At that time they could not afford the ordinary comforts of life, not to speak of luxuries.
    譯文：那時他連普通生活都不能維持，更不要說奢侈品了。
    例7：They have three fine sons, not to speak of their two 1ovely daughters.
    譯文：他們有了三個好兒子，而且還有兩個可愛的女兒。
    例8：I don"t know algebra or geometry，not to mention calculus．
    譯文：我連代數、幾何都不懂，更不必說微積分了。
    例9：A11 they have to do is press a button，and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind, not to mention political discussions and the latest exciting football match.
    譯文：他們所要做的只是按一下電鈕，就能看到各種戲劇、電影、歌劇和各式各樣的演出，而且還能看到各種政治辯論和最近舉行的激動人心的足球賽。

Human is no less an animal than a monkey is. 人和猴都是動物。
    而no less than 的意思為：“簡直是，實在是”，例如：
    1) It is no less than blackmail to ask such a high price. 如此索要高價，簡直是敲詐。
    2) It is no less than a scandal. 這實在是一件丑聞。
