nomorethan翻译中文（No more/less than和not more/less than区别解析）
首先，more than与less than都是比较级，前者是升级比较，后者是降级比较，这个比较容易掌握；no与not都是表示否定的词，这也很明显。但两个否定词冠于比较级之前，所产生的意义又相差甚远。

解译：我只花一个月时间读完那本书。（=only）

2. not more than：表示不多于、至多，最多；相当于at most，强调上限。

I. 单独使用。
1.no less than: 多达、有……之多，强调多（与no more than意思相反）。

2. not less than: 不少于，相当于at least, 强调下限。

II. 用在比较级句中。
1. no less…than：A和B一样…，对二者均予以肯定，相当于as… as… .

2. not less… than: 降级比较的否定式，意为“不少于”。
This song is not less popular than that one.
这首歌受欢迎程度不亚于那首歌。含比较意味。
