同意English expert的解答。其实,这等同于not so much...as句式。 1.not so much A as B = not so much A, but B = less A than B = more B than A = B rather than A。如: Experience shows that success is not so much due to ability as to zeal. 经验表明,成功与其说是由于能力,毋宁说是由于热忱。 = Experience shows that success is not so much due to ability, but to zeal. (but前常有逗号) = Experience shows that success is less due to ability than to zeal. = Experience shows that success is more due to zeal than to ability. = Experience shows that success is due to zeal rather than to ability. 2. 如果so much...as句型中的so much与not分离而去和as连用(即构成not A so much as B),意义完全一样。如: It is not so much advice as approval that he seeks. 他所追求的不是忠告,而是赞赏。 = It is not advice so much as approval that he seeks. ▲not so much as...“连……也不”,意义同not even。如: I have not so much as heard his name. 我连他的名字也不曾听说过。 He had not so much as his fare home. 他甚至连回家的路费都没有。 |
