no more than not more than一樣嗎?

no more than /not more than

在數量上進行比較時,no more than = only, 意為「僅僅,只有」;not more than=at most, 意為「至少,不超過」。例如:

There are no more than ten people in the room. 房間里只有十個人。

I have not more than 20 books.我最多有20本書。

在程度上進行比較時,no more than有「兩者都不」之意,表示說話者主觀上嫌其少(差、不足、不好)等;not more than含有「不及、不多於」之意。只反映實際情況,無任何語氣。

This book is no more interesting than that one.這本書並不比那本書有趣。
