no more than与not more than的区别
1. no more than 表示“仅仅”、“只有”(= only)，强调少；而 not more than 表示“不多于”、“至多”(= at most)。如：
He is no more than an ordinary English teacher.
他只不过是个普通的英文老师。
He has no more than three children.
他只有 3 个孩子。
He has not more than three children.
他最多 3 个孩子(有或许还不到 3 个之意)。
2. 用于比较两件事物时，no more ... than 表示对两者都否定，意为“同……一样不”(＝neither ... nor)；而 not more ... than 指两者虽都具有某种特征，但程度不同，意为“不如”、“不及”(= not so ... as)。如：
He is no more a writer than a painter.
他不是画家，也不是作家(= He is neither a painter nor a writer)。
A whale is no more a fish than a horse is.
马不是鱼，鲸也不是鱼(=Neither a horse nor a whale is a fish)。
She is not more clever than he is.
她不如他聪明(= She is not so clever as he is)。
