不如短语英语

就是这个短语是名词性质的名词性短语也叫名词词组.名词词组就是以名词为中心词的词组和短语.如:allthecollegestudents,students是中心词,thetallboysittinginthecorner,boy是中心词.副词性短语就是副词词组,它是以副词为中心词的词组和短语.如:hespokeloudlyandclearly,这里loudlyandclearly是中心词;beaman.don'tactsolowly.这里solowly是中心词.而iliveinthehouse,这里inthehouse做的是介词短语,以介词为中心词,live做的是做i的谓语,它是动词.iwantthehouse.在这里want做的是谓语,是动词,而thehouse做的是want的宾语,那么这里可以叫它为动词词组,以动词为中心词.

在英语中,有许多方式可以表达"与其……不 如……",即用来比较同一事物或同一个人两种不同的性质特征和行为的一种句式.这种句式通常是否定一方(与其……),肯定另一方(不如……).下面分别举例说明: 1. This house is more like a school than a church. 这所房子与其说它像教堂,不如说它像学校. more...than是表达"与其……不如……"的一种较普通的方式,往往是比较同一种事物的两种不同性质.more后分句含肯定之意,而than后分句含否定之意.这种句式肯定前者,否定后者. 2. He is not more a teacher than a doctor. 与其说他是教师,不如说他是医生. not more... than是more...than句式的一种变换形式,它是否定前者,肯定后者.请注意not more...than与no more...than的区别,一个表达"与其……不如……"的意思,而另一个表达"既非……又非……"之意.例如:I am no more a teacher than a doctor. 我既非老师又非医生. 3. I'm less thirsty than hungry. 与其说我渴,不如说我饿. less是副词,含否定之意,than后分句为肯定之意.这是否定前者,肯定后者的句式.但no less than却没有肯定前者,否定后者之意,它的意思是"不少于"、"至少",带有感叹的意味.例如: He won not less than 50 pounds in the lottery. 他居然中了50英镑的奖券. 4. He is not so much intelligent as uneducated. 与其说他不聪明,不如说他缺乏教育. not so much...as也是一种否定前者,肯定后者的句式. 5. I would rather play tennis than swim. 我宁愿打网球,不愿游泳. 6. Nathan Hale would sooner die a hero than drag out an ignoble existence. 内森·黑尔宁愿死得英雄,也不愿苟且偷生. 7. We would as soon go to a film than loiter about here. 我们与其在这儿闲逛,不如去看电影. 在例5、6、7三种句式中,情态动词would也可以用could, may等词替代,其后的副词或副词短语多用原级或比较级;表意上均为肯定前者,否定后者;其意思为"宁可,宁愿,更愿意,更喜欢,与其……不如……". 8. Give me liberty or give me death. 与其不自由,不如就去死./ 不自由毋宁死. 9. He'd die of hunger before he would steal. 他宁愿饿死不愿偷窃. 10. She desired no one for husband before him. 她非他不嫁. 在例8、9、10中,连词or和before由于句子语境的缘故,也可以传神地表达"与其……不如……"的意思.这三个句子都没有明显地表示出否定一方,肯定另一方,但我们可以通过上下文体会出它们所隐含的比较概念.
