At first glance, it looks as if there is no element of “present involvement” in this use of the Present Perfect, any more than there is
in the Simple Past.
看不懂这个句子,尤其是any more than there is in the Simple Past - 总感觉缺少什么,there is 后怎么会没有了?
than 后面省略与前文重复的成分,这在比较句中十分常见。所以,网友记住这一点,就可以补全省略的成分,帮助理解句子。
就像前面提问的问题一样:I would no more think of hitting a student than I would (think of hitting) a policeman.
你的句子补全如下:
At first glance, it looks as if there is no element of “present involvement” in this use of the Present Perfect, any more than there is (any element of “present involvement”) in the Simple Past.
【翻译】乍一看,现在完成时的用法中似乎没有“现在参与”的成分,就像一般过去时中没有“现在参与”的成分一样。
any more than 前面实际是否定意义(no element),所以,见到这样的结构时,记住:包括 than 后面的内容一并否定。
【结构】
no more (...) than... 等于:
no any more (...) than...
【翻译格式】“既不...也不... ” 或 “像...一样,都不”。
