no other than与none other than比较

The girl under the tree is ______my sister.

A.no one than

B.no other than

C.no one that

D.none other than

正确答案：D

(题目及答案摘自：华研外语《专四语法与词汇1000题》，T14，第七题)

在查完字典后得到以下解答：

B：no other than: 正是；除…外没有；不是别的，The new arrival was no other than the president.刚到达的正是总统本人

D：不是别的；不是别人而正是；不是别人正是。But once you accept it, the one who supports the idea is often none other than yourself.但是一旦你接受了它，往往支持它的不是别人正是你自己。

我个人的理解是：B带到句子里表达的意思是跟D一样的，且语法也没有问题，请问为何不选择B

谢谢各位老师解答！

摘引一段WR网站一个老外的解释：

What the expression means to convey is 'no other person than so-and-so'.

If we substitute the pronoun 'one' for the noun 'person', we have 'no other one than'.

Since it is possible for the adjective 'other' to take a following position, and since it is usual to put 'no' and 'one' together, this is naturally replaced by 'no one other than'. This in turn is shortened to 'none other than' for emphasis.

Another way to look at it is to see that 'no' and 'other' are both terms that require a referent: they must be referring to some independent thing separately expressed. If we say 'no other than', then this expression has no substantive reference.

That means that there is nothing for the comparative expression 'other than' to relate to.

这段话的意思是，no other than 的用法是不规范的。答案应选none other than.
