1. much less 是一个副词短语,常用于否定句中,意思是“更不用说”。
如:I am so tired that I cannot walk any more, much less run.
我太累了,都走不动了,更不用说跑了。
2. 如果用在肯定句中,则使用much more.
如:He can do it well, much more can you.
他都能做好,更何况是你。

not more than:不比……更,不如;至多
at the best 充其量,至多
at (the) most至多,不超过
∴not more than= at the best=at (the) most
not more … than= not so/ as… as意为“不如……”
no more than只有;仅仅;不过;相当于only
not less than:不比……差,至少
no less than后接数词,表示“多达”,有强调“多”的含义。...
at least 至少...
∴not less than= no less than= at (the) least= as many as意为“不少于”
ⅰ not more than 常用于数词之前,意为“至多;顶多;不超过”,其意义与 at (the) most 相同。例如: there on some hay on the ground lay a peasant boy of not more than seventeen. 地面的干草上躺着一个农家孩子,最多不过 17 岁。 not more … than 意为“不如……;不及于……”,语气常着重否定后面的一个分句。常可与“ not so/as … as ”互换使用。例如: this story is not more interesting than that one. = this story is not so/ as interesting as that one. 这个故事不如那个故事有趣。 she's 25 years old, at most. 她最多25岁。
ⅱ no more than后接数词,( = only; just )例如:
abraham lincoln's whole school education added up to no more than one year.
亚伯拉罕•林肯所受的全部学校教育总共不过一年的时间。
no more … than意为“和……一样地不……”,表示两者都否定,但说话人往往着重否定前面的一个分句,其作用相当于“ neither … nor ”。例如:
marry is no more diligent than tom. = neither mary nor tom is diligent.
玛丽和汤姆两个人都不勤奋。
ⅲ not less than 意为“不少于”,同 at (the) least 。严格地说,not less … than 的意思是“至少不比……差”,意味或许还要强一些,但现在基本和no less than混用,二者均相当于“ as many as ”。例如: our school has not less than/ no less than three thousand students. 我们学校拥有的学生不下 3,000 人。
比较:no less … than 意为“(至少)和……一样”。例如: he is no less active than he used to be. 他和以前一样活跃。
