6. even [much, still] less 表示“更不用說”“更何況”。如: He can hardly afford beer, much less champagne. 他連啤酒都喝不起,更不用說喝香檳了。 He's too shy to ask a stranger the time, still less speak to a room full of people. 他連向陌生人打聽時間都不好意思,更不用說向一屋子人講話了 注意不要將該固定短語與自由搭配的短語相混淆——作為非固定短語理解的even [much, still] less 的意思是“更少”“更不”。如: He’s eating even less than usual. 他吃得甚至比平時還少。 He thought he knew better than I did, though he was much less experienced. 他認為他比我更懂,雖然他的經驗遠不如我。 7. none the less 該短語的意思是“盡管如此”“依然”“然而”。如: It’s not cheap but I think we should buy it none the less. 這個雖然不便宜, 但我覺得我們還是應該買。 該短語也可寫成nonetheless或nevertheless。如: Though very intelligent, she is nevertheless rather modest. 她很聰明,倒也很謙虛。 The soldiers were cold, tired, and hungry; nonetheless, they continued to march. 戰士們又冷、又累、又餓,然而他們仍然繼續行軍。 8. the less…the less… the less…the less… 用于表示比例,其意為“越……就越不……”。如: The less efforts you make, the less progress you achieve. 你付出的努力越少,你的進步也就越少。 但更多情況是,只出現一個the less,另一個the less用其他形式的比較級代替。如: The less said about the whole thing, the happier I’ll be. 對整件事談得越少我越高興。 Sometimes it seems like the less I do, the more tired I feel. 有時我感覺好像活干得越少越覺得累。 The more fruit and vegetables you eat, the less chance you have of getting cancer. 吃的蔬菜、水果越多,得癌癥的可能性就越少。 (責任編輯 陳根花)
