3. no more...than...句型

no more...than...句型在意义上与not any more than...一样，表示对两者都否定，所以可以翻译为“……和……一样不；不是……正如……；既不……也不……；……和……两者都不”。跟no more...than...句型结构相近，但是意义相反的句型是no less...than...，可以翻译为“既是……，也是……；两者都是……”。

举例

His grammar is no better than mine.

他的语法和我的一样不好。

He is no more a writer than a painter.

他既不是画家，也不是作家。

He is no less a writer than a painter.

他既是画家，也是作家。

我不是诗人，正如他不是学者一样。
