no other 用法
I have been able to invest them with none of those characteristics which make the persons of a book exist with a real life of their own; and, wondering if the fault is mine, I rack my brains to remember idiosyncrasies which might lend them vividness.
I feel that by dwelling on some trick of speech or some queer habit I should be able to give them a significance peculiar to themselves. As they stand they are like the figures in an old tapestry; they do not separate themselves from the background, and at a distance seem to lose their pattern, so that you have little but a pleasing piece of colour. My only excuse is that the impression they made on me was no other.
1）As they stand - 这里的stand是什么意思呢？
2）you have little but a pleasing... 中little是代词，“几乎没有”的意思吗？
3）was no other - 怎么理解？ 为什么没有than出现呢？

1. As they stand 时间状语从句，“当它们站着时”。
2. little but = nothing but，只有；除了...... 之外没有别的。have little but a pleasing piece of colour：只有一种令人愉悦的色彩。
3. no other 后面省略 than that。impression they made on me was no other than that。 他们给我留下的印象就是这样/那样。
