【问】 One visit is nowhere near enough.

nowhere near是什么意思?能否用not来代替?

【答】 nowhere near是not的强调说法，在语气上相当于not at all。通常译为“远不是”、“远不如”、“根本不”。请看下面的例句：

1. Lions are nowhere near as fast as the cheetah…(EED)

狮子远不如非洲猎豹跑得快……

2. The bus is nowhere near as dear as the train.

公共汽车远不象火车那样贵。

3. Today’s game was nowhere near as exciting as yesterday’s game. (DAI)

今天的比赛一点儿也不象昨天那么精采。
