一、no more than与 not morethan
1. no more than=only 意思是“仅仅”“只有”“最多不超过”,强调少。
【例句】
This test takes no more than thirtyminutes. 这个测验只要30分钟。
The pub was no more than half full. 该酒吧的上座率最多不超过五成。
For thirty years, he had done no more than he (had) needed to. 30年来,他只干了他需要干的工作。
2. not more than 为 more than (多于)的否定式,其意为“不多于”“不超过”。
没有强调少的意思,强调的是没有超过某标准/数量
【例句】
Notmore than 10 guests came to her birthday party.
来参加她的生日宴会的客人不超过十人。
3.可以比较:
She has no more than three hats. 她只有3顶帽子。(强调少)
She has not more than three hats. 她至多有3顶帽子。(强调不超过3顶帽子)
I have no more than five yuan in my pocket.我口袋里的钱最多不过5元。(言其少)
I have not more than five yuan in mypocket. 我口袋里的钱不多于5元。(强调数量不到5元,没有强调5元是多是少的意思)
