More than等于over/not only。
在more … than结构中,more是much或many的比较级,修饰形容词、副词、介词、动词或名词,相当于greater, in a greater degree,表示“比……更”,其前可以受a lot, much, many, far, by far, a little, a bit, still等修饰,比较的两部分并不要求用完全相同的词类。
no/not more than
1、no more than的意思是“仅仅”“只有”“最多不超过”,强调少。如:
This test takes no more than thirty minutes.这个测验只要30分钟。
2、not more than为more than(多于)的否定式,其意为“不多于”“不超过”。如:
Not more 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。
比较:
She has no more than three hats.她只有3顶帽子。(太少了)
She has not more than three hats.她至多有3顶帽子。(也许不到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 my pocket.我口袋里的钱不多于5元。(也许不到5元)
