第050句
But his primary task is not to think about the moral code, which governs his activity, any more than a businessman is expected to dedicate his energies to an exploration of rules of conduct in business.
译文:但是,他的首要任务并非考虑支配自己行为的道德规范,这正如不能指望商人投入精力研究商业行为规范一样。
点睛:动词不定式结构not to think...为句子的表语。which引导的是以moral code为先行词的定语从句。not...any more than意为“正如,相当于”。dedicate sth. to sb./sth.意为“以庄严的仪式将(教堂)等奉献(给上帝、圣徒等)”;dedicate oneself/sth.to sth.意为“将(自己、时间、精力等)奉献给(崇高的事业或目的)”。
考点归纳:与more相关的常见短语还有:
*once more再次
We should rehearse the scene once more before the show starts.
在演出开始之前我们应该把这一幕再排练一次。
*more often than not往往,通常
More often than not people don't realize what their rights are.
人们往往不知道自己有哪些权利。
*no more than正是
It's no more than you deserve.
这正是你该得到的。
