先出个选择题考考大家，哈哈

B. more

C. no more

D. not much of

no more/-er than，表示该形容词或副词的相反含义，意思是“与……一样不”。

1. More (less) ... than ...，意为“与其说......倒不如说......”。

e.g. He is more a scholar than a teacher.

与其说他是教师，不如说他是名学者。

2. no more/-er than，表示该形容词或副词的相反含义，意思是“与……一样不”。

e.g. John is no better than Mary.

约翰和玛丽 都 不好。

我们来理解一下这几个表达：

no richer than = as poor as

no bigger than = as small as

no later than = as early as

学习了上面两组表达方法以后，你能区分下面这两句话吗？

Mary is no more a good student than John is.

两个 都不是 好学生。

Mary is not much of a good student than John is.

John是好学生， Mary 没 John好。
