不比...更...

Some positive news surfaced yesterday: Mexican scientists said the contagiousness of the swine flu is no greater than that of the seasonal flu that circulates every year.

昨天有一些正面的消息传出，墨西哥科学家说猪流感病毒的传染性并不比每年流行的季节性流感的传染性更大。

What's more, being carved into bits and chunks and shipped to a dozen different institutions seems no more distasteful than decomposing underground or being burned to char in a crematory retort.

进一步说，被切成大大小小的块状然后运送进十多个各不相同的机构里似乎并不比在地下腐烂或被扔进火葬场给烧焦更令人不快。

It may sound fine in the mouth of a declaimer when he talks of subduing our appetites, of teaching every sense to be content with a bare sufficiency, and of supplying only the wants of Nature; but is there not more satisfaction in indul ging those appetites, if with innocence and safety, than in restraining them?

当一个高谈阔论者讲到抑制我们的欲望，只用最少的东西来满足我们的感官，只用大自然所缺乏的东西来供给它们，这听起来好像很美妙；但是，如果能无辜、安适地尽享这些欲望，这不比抑制它们更能令人满意吗？

There is no systematic connection between globalization and the free market. It is no more essentially friendly to liberal capitalism than to central planning or East Asian dirigisme. Driven by technological changes that occur in many regimes, the process of globalization is more powerful than any of them. This is a truth that Friedman—as an avowed technological determinist—should accept readily enough. If he does not, it is because it shows how baseless are the utopian hopes he attaches to a process that abounds in conflicts and contradictions.

在全球化和自由市场之间没有系统的关联，全球化与自由资本主义的关系并不比与中央计划经济和亚洲政府干预体制更亲密，由技术驱动而发生在很多制度里的全球化进程比任何制度更加强有力，作为一个公开宣称的技术决定论者的弗里德曼对此应该欣然接受，如果他不接受，那是因为这一观点表明，他的乌托邦理想纯属荒谬，他的乌托邦理想所依附的全球化进程充满冲突和矛盾。

Today, more than ever before, we depend on the expediency brought about by such modern devices as phones.

如今，不比过去，我们更多的是依靠机等现代设备所带来解决问题的权宜之计。

Many people see Chinese companies as being just as exploitative as Western ones, if not more so.

许多人觉得中国的公司像西方的公司一样，都是剥削性的，即使不比西方更残酷，至少也是一样厉害。

That the boys liked this little better than the girls is very clearly evident from the story I have already told of the Field Mouse.

我所讲过的关于地老鼠的故事，非常清楚地说明男孩子并不比女孩子更喜欢早婚。

The Russian designers have a well-deserved reputation for being less technologically sophisticated than their western counterparts, but you can see that the Flogger has a heads-up display, and it also has fairly fancy missile and IFF (identification - friend or foe) systems.

俄罗斯设计师们并不比他们的西方竞争对手有更尖端的技术，却享有当之无愧的声誉，在他们的飞机上你仍然能看到平显，同样拥有空空导弹和敌我识别系统。

The class might produce one Darwin, but against him had to be set tens of thousands of country gentlemen who never thought of anything more intelligent than fox-hunting and punishing poachers.

不负责任的有闲阶级的生活方式常常是异常浪费的。这个阶级的成员没有一个受到过必须勤奋工作的教育，而且就整体而言，这个阶级也不比他人更聪明。

No, he's not bigger than the franchise.

不，他并不比球队更重要。

According to the clear water experiment, aeration performance of the new equipment is good with high total oxygen transfer coefficient and oxygen utilization ratio.

曝气设备的动力效率在叶轮转速为120rpm～150rpm时取得最大值，此时氧利用率和充氧能力也具有较高值。

The environmental stability of that world - including its crushing pressures and icy darkness - means that some of its most famous inhabitants have survived for eons as evolutionary throwbacks, their bodies undergoing little change.

稳定的海底环境─包括能把人压扁的压力和冰冷的黑暗─意谓海底某些最知名的栖居生物已以演化返祖的样态活了万世，形体几无变化。
