復(fù)雜的比較級(jí)的拆分和理解 例176

例176　Nobody with any sense expects to find the truth in advertisements about the quality of products any more than he expects a man to describe his shortcomings, which reflects the human nature of some people.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】這句話是個(gè)no (any) more than...結(jié)構(gòu)，表示前者沒有，后者也一樣沒有，前后都否定。any more than前面的主語是Nobody，動(dòng)詞是expects to find，賓語是the truth，后面加介詞短語in advertisements about the quality of products，做定語，修飾前面的賓語，any more than后面的主干是he expects a man to describe his shortcomings，后面是整個(gè)句子的非限性定語從句which reflects the human nature of some people。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于no (any) more than...結(jié)構(gòu)，表示前者沒有，后者也一樣沒有，前后都否定。比如I don't love singing any more than you love dancing，翻譯成“我不喜歡唱歌就像你不喜歡跳舞一樣”。

【核心詞匯】

with any sense　從任何意義說

the quality of products　產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量

shortcomings　缺點(diǎn)

human nature　人性

【參考譯文】沒有人從任何意義上能夠發(fā)現(xiàn)廣告宣傳產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量的真實(shí)情況，就像一個(gè)人不要期待面試者在面試中說自己缺點(diǎn)一樣，這是人性使然。
