His brother is no wiser than he.

如果我们把no去掉

His brother is wiser than he.

肯定是"他的兄弟比他聪明"

加上no之后的意思

到底要如何理解呢？

no wiser than he

按照字面理解为不比他更聪明 也就是和他差不多聪明

但是如果这样理解

应该这样翻译:

His brother is not wiser than he.

而原句用的是no

no wiser说的是wiser的反义词

His brother is no wiser than he.

他弟弟和他一样笨。

这句话也可以写成

His brother is none the wiser than he.

表示强调

No more than fifteen people attended the funeral.

参加葬礼的只有15个人。

No more than fifteen people

的强调作用要大于

fewer than fifteen people

遇到 no＋形容词比较级

要想一下是否在说与之相反的意思

There are no fewer than 15 misspelled words in the essay.

这句话表达的是什么意思呢？
