Re: [求譯英文字典上看到的句子~~

[togs (= =")]

※ 引述《weei (weei)》之銘言：
: This was a matter less of morals than of expediency.
: 我自己的翻法:
: 這是比較少道德問題的權宜之計
: 對嗎??
: 這個句子應該要怎麼看才對??這句子是不是省略了某些字??

其實C大在推文裡已經說得很清楚了

這裡原諒我再多囉嗦幾句

希望如此一來以後遇到類似的句子都能迎刃而解



教科書上一般教法是

less A than B  1.不是A而是B

               2.是B甚於是A

               3.與其說是A不如說是B

例句

eg. The key to his success lies less in luck than in diligence.

    他成功的關鍵與其說是在於運氣，不如說是在於勤勉。



我從參考書上得到的整理如下

less A than B

= more B than A

= not so much A as B



也就是上述的例句可以改成

The key to his success lies less in luck than in diligence.

= The key to his success lies more in diligence than in luck.

= The key to his success lies not so much in luck as in diligence.



有誤或補充請不吝指教^^

感謝
