句型公式
【句式点拨】
“no+比较级+than”表示“两者都不”, 是对比较的两个对象进行否定,相当于该原级形容词或副词的反义词使用as…as结构的意思。因此,本句中no less than就相当于as much as。又如:
no better than=as bad as 与……一样不好(强调差)
no faster than=as slow/slowly as 与……一样不快(强调慢)
He is no more careful than you.
=He is as careless as you.
他和你一样粗心。
【相关拓展】
“not+比较级+than”表示“前者不如后者”。如:
He is not more careful than you.
他没有你细心。
【活学活用】
