在朗文当代高级英辞典(第四版 英汉双解)有如下的解释:
not/no more than something:used to emphasize that a particular number, amount, distance etc is not large:
It's a beautiful cottage not more than five minutes from the nearest beach.(那是一座漂亮的小房子,离最近的海滩至多五分钟的路程)
Opinion polls show that no more than 30% of people trust the government.(民意调查显示至多30%的人信任政府)
可见字典并未指出no more than 与 not more than 在后接数字时的区别.
可是在网络上普通认为有区别.如百度百科more than 中
She has no more than three hats. 她只有3顶帽子。(太少了) She has not more than three hats. 她至多有3顶帽子。(也许不到3顶帽子) I have no more than five yuan in my pocket. 我口袋里的钱最多不过5元。(言其少) I have not more than five yuan in my pocket. 我口袋里的钱不多于5元。(也许不到5元)
求高手帮助!
比较状语从句中no more than和not more than
not more than是小于等于的意思本回答被网友采纳
