In the battle,the Red Amy wounded were _________ twenty thousand.A.no less than B.not less than
这个题应该选哪个答案?A 是“多达……”的意思,B是“至少”,放在句子中好像A和B都可以选的.
选A,理由是:
短语no less than与not less than虽然都可修饰表示数量或程度的词,但两者含义是有一定区别的.
no less than相当于as much as,意为“多达,竟有……之多”,着重强调多;而not less than意为“不少于,至少”,是客观描述.试比较
下面两个句子:
1.There are no less than 15,000 students in
our university(强调学生人数之多)
2.There are not less than 15,000 students in
our university.(客观描述)
