2015.07.01 13:41

  But his primary task is not to think about the moral code which governs his activity, any more than a businessman is expected to dedicate his energies to an exploration of rules of conduct in business.

  词汇点拨:

  primary 首要的

  moral code 道德原则/规范

  Govern 管理,支配,统治

  dedicate one’s energies to sth 致力于某事

  exploration 探索,探究

  句子解析:

  还是not…any more than 结构,还是把句子拆分:

  A= But his primary task is not to think about the moral code which governs his activity

  B= a businessman is (not) expected to dedicate his energies to an exploration of rules of conduct in business.

  参考译文: 但是,他的首要任务并不是考虑支配自己行动的道德规范,就如同(我们)不能指望商人会致力于探索行业规范一样。

  KK友情提示: Not…any more than, 从结构上我们已经掌握了,再从表意功能上看,我们其实可以知道,这个结构很多时候就是为了把两个 表示否定的句子连接起来而已。第二个句子所表述的事实往往是被读者所熟悉的,和接受的,这样能更好的表达第一 个句子的意思。

  再提醒一下,这个结构中的not,可以不是not,可以是其他的否定词,no,few,hardly, never,nobody都可以;

  同学们试着看看下面的句子:

  Nobody with any sense expects to find the whole truth in job advertisement any more than he expects a man applying for a job to describe his shortcomings and more serious faults.
