no nearer

A week passed and Professor Bumper was no nearer finding the lost city than he had been at first.

原文是讲Bumper教授在寻找一个文明遗址。

no nearer是no nearer doing 还是no nearer than?

具体怎么用?麻烦老师们帮忙分析一下。

非常感谢。

A week passed and Professor Bumper was no nearer finding the lost city than he had been at first.
be near to doing 或 be near doing (省略to),意思是 “接近做某事了,快要做某事了”,说明“快要找到这座失落的城市很近了”。其实意思很好理解。
near 的比较级是nearer,否定 用not 和 no意思有所差别,从句用 than 引出。near 为比较项,从句不能出现。但可以补充其余的省略部分。...than he had been finding it at first.
主句用 no +比较级,连 than从句一并否定。
A week passed and Professor Bumper was no nearer finding the lost city than he had been at first.
一星期过去了,普拉姆教授跟开始时一样,都还没有快找到这座失落的城市。

刘老师,翻译成“一星期过去了,普拉姆教授跟开始时一样,根本找不到这座失落的城市。”是不是会更好?因为no否定的是near,连接近的机会都没有,体现出汉语的意思,就是“根本”。
