世博英语札记【35】1999年12月14日札记

1999年12月14日

今天还是把昨天的几个令人眼花缭乱的用法做成两个小对话,以便于大家记忆.

1.Jack:The book costs no less than 22 dollars.
John:I have no more than 10 dollars in my pocket.
Jack:Let me see...,I have not more than 8 dollars.
John:What a pity!We can't afford it.We still need not less than 4 dollars.

Jack:这本书要22元钱.
John:我口袋里只有10元钱.
Jack:让我看看...我最多也就8块钱.
John:真可惜!我们买不起.我们至少还需要4块钱.

2.下面是一段自言自语.

I am no more foolish than him.That is to say,I am no less clever than him.Oh,I am not less intelligent than him.Also,he is not more diligent than I.Sure,I will win.

我和他一样不苯.就是说,我和他一样聪明.噢,也许我比他更聪明些.还有,他可没有我勤奋.嗯!我一定会赢的.

以上是我自己编的对话,大家若是发现有什么不对的地方,给我来封信好吗?!谢谢!
