…不及…notsomuch…as與其說是…不如說是…Itwasn'tsomuchhisappearanceIlikedashispersonality．

我所喜歡的，與其說是他的外表，不如說是他的個性。(no)such+（determiner）NP+as表示舉例Thereisnosuchthingasaghost.such作為后位限定詞，放在中限定詞no，a的后面只有當(dāng)such和a/an同時出現(xiàn)的時候，成為前限定詞，sucha/an，另外，不同時出現(xiàn)兩個中限定詞，就是no,和a都是中限定詞，不同時出現(xiàn),no=nota

notsomuch…as…與notso…as…的區(qū)別

從形式上看notsomuch…as…與notso…as…的結(jié)構(gòu)基本相同,但兩者在意義上和用法上都存在著很大的差別,下面對此加以說明:

在意義上,notsomuch…as…結(jié)構(gòu)表示選擇比較,常常譯為“與其說……不如說·……”(1)Heisnotsomuchawriterasareporter.他與其說是位作家,不如說是位記者。(2)Hersuccesswasnotsomuchbychanceasbydiligence.她的成功與其說由于機遇不如說是由于勤奮。而notso…as…結(jié)構(gòu)表示否定的同等比較.常常譯為“不像……那樣……”。(1)ItisnotsohotinBeijingasinWuhan.北京不象武漢那樣熱。(2)Heisnotsotallasyou.他沒有你那樣高。

在用法上,notsomuch…as…結(jié)構(gòu)中,so不能換作as,much必須緊跟在so后面,且不能省略,much和as后面是兩個相互平行的結(jié)構(gòu),比如名詞、形容詞。例如：Hewasnotsomuchangryasdisappointed.

而notso…as中，so可與as互換，so后可跟形容詞、副詞原級，不跟名詞。

e.g.Todaytheclassroomisnotso___asusual.

A.cleanB.cleanerC.muchcleanerD.cleanest

WeshouldsayJimmyisnot___muchawriterasareporter.

A.thisB.thatC.asD.so

c.“notmore/-er…than”vs.“nomore/-er…than”Youaremorecarefulthanheis.你比他仔細(xì)。Youarenotmorecarefulthanheis.你不如他仔細(xì)。Youarenomorecarefulthanheis.你和他一樣不仔細(xì)。Youarelesscarefulthanheis.你不如他仔細(xì)（你比他粗心）。Youarenotlesscarefulthanheis.你比他仔細(xì)（你不如他粗心）。Youarenolesscarefulthanheis.你和他一樣仔細(xì)。

“一……就”句子的前半部分一般用過去完成時，而后半部則用一般過去時采用倒裝語序NosoonerhadIopenedthecagethanthelittlebirdflewout.=我一開籠小鳥就飛出去了。Scarcely(Hardly)hadIopenedthecagebefore(when)thelittlebirdflewout.prior,superior,inferior,senior和junior表示比較時后面用“to”不用“than”

“priorto”意思是早于，比……重要；“superiorto”意思是優(yōu)于，高于；“inferiorto”意思是次于；“seniorto”意思是年長于，地位高于；“juniorto”意思是年幼于，地位低于，遲于。Thetaskispriortoallothers.這項任務(wù)比其他所有的任務(wù)都重要。InmathshefeltsuperiortoJohn.他覺得自己數(shù)學(xué)比約翰強。Theseapplesareinferiorinflavortothose.這些蘋果的味道不如那些。Heistwoyearsseniortome.他比我大兩歲。表示倍數(shù)他們的房子是我們房子的三倍。Theirhouseisthreetimes
