    (3) ... not so much as..... (=not even) 甚至于不……,連……也不……
    (4) ... might as well ... as..... 與其說……還不如說……
    例1:He is not so much a teacher as a scholar.譯文:與其說他是老師,還不如說是學(xué)者。(注意翻譯時(shí)動(dòng)作的對(duì)象)
    例2:It wasn't so much his appearance I liked as his personality.譯文:與其說我喜歡他的外表,不如說我喜歡他的品格。
    例3:It's not so much that I don't want to come but I just haven't got the time.譯文:倒不是因?yàn)槲也幌雭?,而是我根本沒有時(shí)間。
    例4:He didn't so much as say thank you after all we'd done for him.譯文:我們?yōu)樗闪四敲炊嗍?,他甚至連謝謝都沒有說一聲。

    [注意]:more ... than ...
    1) she is more beautiful than her sister. 她比她姐姐漂亮。
    2) George is more intelligent than aggressive. 與其說喬治言行放肆,不如說他聰穎過人。
    以上第1句是more... than結(jié)構(gòu)的一般用法,即在兩個(gè)不同的事物之間就同一方面作比較;而第2句是就同一個(gè)人的兩個(gè)不同方面作比較。因此要譯成“與其說……還不如說……”。more...than結(jié)構(gòu)在上述1) 2)兩句中的用法也適用于less ... than結(jié)構(gòu),得出相反的含義:
    例如:
    1) John is less daring than quick-witted. 與其說約翰膽大,不如說他腦子靈活。
    2) George was less intelligent than aggressive. 與其說喬治聰穎過人,不如說他言行放肆。
