例171 But taking more than the body needs doesn't make it function better, any more than overfilling your gas tank makes your car run better.
【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】no more...than.../not any more...than表示雙重否定,表示和……一樣都沒有,any more than前半句主語是taking more than the body needs,動詞是doesn't make,賓語是it,賓補是function better, any more than后面的主語是overfilling your gas tank,動詞是makes,賓語是your car,賓補是run better。
【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于no more...than.../not any more...than的經(jīng)典使用,作文如果也能夠使用這個結(jié)構(gòu),肯定會妙筆生輝。
【核心詞匯】
taking more than the body needs 吃得多于身體所需要的
function better 起很好的作用
overfill your gas tank 把你的油箱填得過滿
【參考譯文】但是,吃得如果超過身體所需要的不會讓身體運行得更好,就像把你的油箱填得過滿不會讓你的車跑得更好一樣。
