Question

The great use of...
The great use of a school education is [not so much] to teach you things [as to] teach you the art of learning.
句中not so much 和as to
怎么用,给个简单例句.

Answer 1

not so much----as
是 不是---而是---的意思,或“与其说…不如说…”的意思.
例句比如：He is not so much a teacher as a businessman.
与其说他是个教师,倒不如说他是个商人.
原文：The great use of a school education is [not so much] to teach you things [as to] teach you the art of learning.
这句话的意思是：学校教育的重大作用不是教给你什么而是教你学习的艺术
注意：但是not so much as 和not so much ...as是意思不相同的两个句型.
not so much as这个结构相当于“not even”,所以通常翻译为“甚至不…,甚至没有…”.
not so much …as…这个结构表示的基本意义和not as (or so)…as…一样,但是通常翻译为“与其说…不如说…”.
