看不同的书,感觉 no more 表示“不再”有很多禁忌。请问它在用法有何用法特点?
另外,no more, no longer 表示“不再”时有何区别?
no more 和 no longer 表示“不再”时,主要的区别不是语义不同,而是它们在句中的位置不同: no more 一般位于句尾或句首,而 no longer 则可用于实义动词之前、助动词或连系动词之后,或者位于句尾或句首。例如:
1. I see him no more. (CGEL)/ I see him no longer. (CGEL)我再也见不到他了。
2. He no longer bought books. 他不再买书了。
3. He's no longer at school. (CGEL)他不再上学了。
4. - Excuse me, is this Mr. Brown's office ?
- I'm sorry, but Mr. Brown ____ works here.He left about three weeks ago.
A. not now B. no more C. not still D. no longer
