But his primary task is not to think about the moralcode, which governs his activity, any more than abusinessman is expected to dedicate his energies toan 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...anymore than意为“正如,相当于”。dedicate sth. tosb./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。
