復(fù)雜的比較級(jí)的拆分和理解 例173

例173　But his primary task is not to think about the moral code, which governs his activity, any more than a businessman is expected to dedicate his energies to an exploration of rules of conduct in business.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】no more...than.../not any more...than表示雙重否定，表示和……一樣都沒(méi)有，any more than前面的主語(yǔ)是his primary task，動(dòng)詞是is to think about，賓語(yǔ)是the moral code，后面是定語(yǔ)從句which governs his activity, any more than后面主語(yǔ)是a businessman，動(dòng)詞是個(gè)短語(yǔ)is expected to dedicate his energies to，賓語(yǔ)是an exploration of rules of conduct in business。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于no more...than.../not any more...than的經(jīng)典使用，表示前面沒(méi)有做，正如后面沒(méi)有做一樣，屬于高級(jí)比較級(jí)。

【核心詞匯】

primary task　主要任務(wù)

moral code　道德準(zhǔn)則

governs his activity　支配他的行為

dedicate energies to　投入精力于

an exploration of　去探索

rules of conduct in business　商業(yè)中行為準(zhǔn)則

【參考譯文】但是，他的主要任務(wù)并不是去思考支配他行為的道德準(zhǔn)則，正如我們不會(huì)期待一個(gè)商人去竭盡全力去探索商業(yè)運(yùn)作中的行為準(zhǔn)則一樣。
