【问】 (1) She isn't any more courageous than he(is).

(2) She is no more courageous than he(is).

请问句(1)和句(2)的意思是否相同?

【答】 关于no more... than的意义和用法，我们在no more(...)than条中已经讨论过了。应当记住，not any more... than是no more... than的强调形式，因此，它们的用法和含义是相同的。下面补充几个not any more... than的例句：

1. It's no use asking me. I don't know any more than you. (Du Maurier)

问我没有用。我跟你同样不懂。

2. I could not do that any more than you.=I could no more do that than you.

我和你一样，也不能做这件事。

3. Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks，but a collection of factscannot be called a science any more than a pile of bricks can be called a house.

科学是用事实建立起来的，就象房子是由砖建筑起来的一样;但是，收集到一起的事实并不能称为科学，正如一堆砖不能称为房子一样。
