no more \not...any more\no longer\not...any longer的区别

Question

no more \not...any more\no longer\not...any longer的区别

Answer 1

第一,
no more=not...any more
no longer=not...any longer
意思上是一样的,但在句中的位置不尽相同：
举例说明：
He is no longer a student.他不再是学生了.
He is not a student any longer.
此用法还有no more 和 not any more
第二 no more和no longer的区别
1.no longer中的longer是副词long的比较级,long有after a certain point of time（在某一时刻以后）之意,着重表示时间的不再延续,意为"如今不再".no longer等于not...any longer.
2.no more中的more是many / much的比较级,more有again之意,着重表示数量或程度的减少,意为"再也没有更多（大）的数量（程度）".no more等于not...any more.
注意：no longer修饰延续性动词,如wait,live,work等,表示动作不再延续；no more修饰非延续性动词,如come,go ,make (the same mistake)等,表示动作不再次发生.
举例说明：
Don't wait any longer.别再等了.
She could no longer find a way to get into the valley.她再也找不到进山谷的路了.
We couldn't stand it any more.我们不能再忍受了.
Time or opportunity lost will return no more.机不可失,时不再来.
