比較級和倍數(shù)表達

1、參考醫(yī)學、no less than不亞于，不亞于，竟達之多 1)The audience was no less than five thousand. 聽眾有五千人之多。 2)That hotel probably costs no less than 20 dollars a night. 那間旅館的住宿費大約要20元一晚呢。 3) He is no less a person than a minister他的身分不亞于部長。not less than不比差，至少, 至少和一樣1) Ill stay here not less than three days. 我將待在這里至少三天。 2

2、) She is not less beautiful than Mary她至少和瑪麗一樣美麗。no more than同樣不；僅僅，只有 1)He is no more than a worker. 他僅僅是個工人。 2)Its no more than a misunderstanding. 這只是個誤會。 3)It is no more than ten minutes walk from the station. 由車站走到這里只有十分鐘的路程。 not more than不比更，不如；至多 1）He is not more diligent than you are.他不象你那樣勤奮

3、。（重點在 you are diligent 。他也勤奮，但不如你勤奮。） 2)Ill stay here not more than three days. 我將待在這里最多不超過三天。 As well as作為習語用作介詞時，as well as的涵義是“還有”、“不但而且”。值得注意的是，在A as well as B的結構里，語意的重點在 A，不在 B。因此，“He can speak Spanish as well as English”的譯文應該是：“他不但會說英語，而且會講西班牙語”，決不能譯作：“他不但會說西班牙語，而且會講英語”。如果這樣翻譯，就是本末倒置了。as well

4、as和 not only but also同義，但前者的語意重點和后者的語意重點恰好顛倒。 如果 as well as用作連詞引出比較從句，其義為“和一樣好”。因此，“He speaks Spanish as well as English”應譯作：“他說西班牙語像說英語一樣好”。語意的重點依舊在前部，不在后半部。 請注意 as well as以下的用法： She called on you as well as I 不但我來看你，她也拜訪了你。 She called on you as well as me 她不但拜訪了我，也拜訪了你。 在下列句中，as well as表示“像一樣”的涵義：

5、 She as well as you is an English teacher 她像你一樣也是英文教師。 這里的謂語動詞用is，不用are，因為句中的主語是she，不是she和you。 As well是副詞短語，其義為“也”，相當于too，它一般放在句末，有時和連詞and或but搭配使用。例： He is a worker，and a poet as well 他是工人，但也是詩人。 China possesses enormous quantities of coal and is rich in other minerals as well 中國擁有大量煤炭，其他的礦藏也很豐富。 Mr
