no longer不再
no longer, not ... any longer的用法區(qū)別
(1) 用作副詞表示時(shí)間上的“不再”,可用no longer, not...any longer, not...any more:
He knows that he is no longer young. 他知道自己不再年輕
。We don't live here any more [longer]. / We no longer live here. 我們不住在這里了
。no longer 通常位于句中的實(shí)意動(dòng)詞之前,動(dòng)詞be、助動(dòng)詞和情態(tài)動(dòng)詞之后,有時(shí)也可位于句末或句首(用于句首時(shí),其后用倒裝語(yǔ)序):
He no longer loves her. / He loves her no longer. / No longer does he love her. 他再也不愛(ài)她了
。【注】原來(lái)no more 也可表示時(shí)間上的“不再”(但要與非延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞連用,且位于句末),但在現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)中,no more 一般不這樣用
。(2) 以下各例中的more 和longer 分別為much 和long的比較級(jí),此時(shí)兩者不可混淆:
There is no more bread. 沒(méi)有面包了
。The boy doesn't want any more. 這孩子不想再要了
。This rope is no longer than that one. 這根繩子與那根繩子一樣不長(zhǎng)
