Better late than never

时间:2024.3.27

Theme:Better late than never.

Topic: a simple fact

In China,there is an old story called better late than never.But today my story is different from the old story,it is about my mother's words. It all started from my piano.I have been taking some piano lessons since I was a kid.It was my mother's idea.But because of the pressure from school,I stopped practicing for few years,my mother never said a word about my decision,she wanted me to realize that playing piano is very beneficial for my future.Now I finally do realize it,and I know it's never too late to start over again.Now every time I want to give up on something,my mother's words echo across my mind"better late than never baby,you conceived a big dream in your heart,and dreams don't come true with a faint heart,it takes hard work and perseverance,so just hold on to it"

Now those who still question that it's probably too late to start up something,who still wonder if it's probably too late to change,who still complain that it's probably too late to right your wrongs.This is my answer!In the end,I want to say something to my mom:"Mother,thanks for letting me know this simple fact ,because of this,now I am more brave and outstanding.Mom,I love you!


第二篇:Not better than与no better than的区别


Not better than与no better than的区别

在形容词比较级前面可以加上not 或no ,但两者表示的意义不同。“not +比较级+than ” “不比?好(或坏)”,即两者在某方面不相上下。如: John is not better than Tom. 约翰并不比汤姆好。

He is not healthier than his friend. 他并不比他的朋友更健康。

“no+比较级+than ”结构表示该形容词或副词的相反含义,意思是“与?一样不?”如:no better than意义上相当于as bad as, no wiser than意义上相当于as stupid as , no richer than相当于as poor as, no bigger than相当于as small as.

The machine is no better than his friends.这台机器和那台一样糟。 Jim is no more careful than you are.吉姆和你一样不仔细。

not better than 与no better than 所表达的意思是完全不同的。A is not better than B只是简单地进行程度上的比较,一般可以为“A不比B好(强)”。至于B本身是好(强)还是不好(差),这样的句子本身是反映不出来的。A is no better than B与A is not better than B不同,它并不对A和B进行程度上的比较,而是用来着重表达A和B都很坏(差)这样一种口气的。

这是no +形容词比较级+than 的用法.表示的含义是:和...和一样不...(两者都表示否定);

如:This one is bad ; the other one is no better than it .翻译一下就是:这个不好,另一个也不比它强.

类似的还有no more than 等;

eg:Jack is no more deligent than Tom:Jack不勤奋Tom也不勤奋 例题一

------Idid badly in the examination . How about you ? ------ I did you .

A . not as well as B . no better than C. no worse than D . not better than

[思路分析]选B.这是个比较典型的比较级的否定用法。-我这次考得很差。你呢?-我不见得比你好。前面一个人说他考得很差,badly,所以根据语境,第

二个人会说自己考得不会比第一个好。no better than不会比你好,至少和你一样差。

例题二

----Does Tom do his new job well?

----____ his old job. How stupid! I think there is no hope for him.

A. No better than. B. Not better than. C. Not so well as. D. No as well as

[思路分析]A。no better than:表示“和??一样;实际等于??”,如: He is no better than a beggar. 他实际上等于一个乞丐。

The invalid is no better than he was yesterday. 病人的情况和昨天一样。 He has no better a say in the matter than I have.他和我一样在这件事上没有发言权。
