(1) ... not so much...... as (but) ... 与其说……还不如说……
(2) ... not so much that.....as (but) that...... 与其说……还不如说……
(3) ... not so much as..... (=not even) 甚至于不……，连……也不……
(4) ... might as well ... as..... 与其说……还不如说……
例1：He is not so much a teacher as a scholar.
译文：与其说他是老师，还不如说是学者。(注意翻译时动作的对象)
例2：It wasn't so much his appearance I liked as his personality.
译文：与其说我喜欢他的外表，不如说我喜欢他的品格。
例3：It's not so much that I don't want to come but I just haven't got the time.
译文：倒不是因为我不想来，而是我根本没有时间。
例4：He didn't so much as say thank you after all we'd done for him.
译文：我们为他干了那么多事，他甚至连谢谢都没有说一声。
例5：You might as well throw your money into the sea as lend it to him.
译文：与其将钱借给他，还不如把钱丢进大海。(注意翻译时动作的对象)
[注意]：more ... than ...
1) she is more beautiful than her sister. 她比她姐姐漂亮。
2) George is more intelligent than aggressive. 与其说乔治言行放肆，不如说他聪颖过人。考试大
以上第 1句是more... than结构的一般用法，即在两个不同的事物之间就同一方面作比较;而第2句是就同一个人的两个不同方面作比较。因此要译成“与其说……还不如说……”。
more...than结构在上述1) 2)两句中的用法也适用于less ... than结构，得出相反的含义：
例如：
1) John is less daring than quick-witted. 与其说约翰胆大，不如说他脑子灵活。
2) George was less intelligent than aggressive. 与其说乔治聪颖过人，不如说他言行放肆。

but for要不是
but that+从句：若不是……
例1：She all but fainted when she heard the news.
译文：她听到这一消息时几乎晕倒了。
注：此句中a11 but意为nearly，almost。
试对比：

译文：除了小孩，大家都认为这次旅行是激动人心的。
此句中all but意为a11 except。
例2：But for the rain we should have a pleasant journey.
译文：要不是下雨，我们的旅行本来是愉快的。
例3：He would have helped us but that he was short of money at the time.
译文：若不是他那时缺钱，他是会帮助我们的。
注
1).but that引导的从句中谓语用陈述语气。
2).but that有灵活的译法。
如：Nothing would satisfy that child but that I place her on my lap.(那孩子什么都不要，只要我把她抱在怀里。)
“名词+or+名词”结构中or后的名词是同位语，应译为“即……;或者称……”
例1：Moreover, technology includes techniques, or ways to do things, as well as the machines that may or may not be necessary to apply them.
译文：再者，除机器外技术还包括技艺，即制作方法，而动用这些技艺并不一定都需要机器。
“only + to do”意为“……，结果却……”，即表示与句子谓语动作的目的相反的结果。
例1: They don't have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema or the opera, onlyto discover, perhaps, that the show is disappointing.
译文：他们不必花钱去戏院、电影院或歌剧院买价格很贵的票，(如果去了，)结果却可能发现，所演的节目令人失望。
例2: They hurried there only to find the meeting canceled.
译文：他们匆匆忙忙赶到那儿，结果却发现会议被取消了。
not more / -er than 与 no more / -er than 结构
比较：
John is not better than Tom.
John is no better than Tom.
前一句表示“约翰不比汤姆好”，属于普通的比较结构;后一例用了no 情况就不同了。no better than 相当于as bad as，含义是两人一样坏。这里，“no + 形容词或副词比较级 + than”所表示的可以说是该形容词或副词的反意。
例如： no richer than = as poor as 和……一样穷
no bigger than = as small as 和……一样小
no later than = as early as 和……一样早
同样地：
I have not taken more than six courses this semester.
I have taken no more than six courses this semester.
前一句的含义是本学期选的课不多于六门;后一句的含义是只选了六门。强调“少”。
上述结构与表示前后都否定的no more...than (= not...any more than)又有所不同：
例：A whale is no more a fish than a horse is.(鲸和马同样不是鱼。)
另外，在某些结构中，单独使用more than 也能表示否定概念：
例1：That is more than I can tell. 我简直不能说。
例2：My trip to Beijing is more than sightseeing. 我去北京不仅仅是旅游观光而已。
no more...than... (= not...any more than) 和……—样都不……(表示前后都否定)
