no worse than

no worse than1

It's no worse than the last exercise. (ALD)

[原译]这不比上次的练习糟。(《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》,商务印书馆,p.994)

请问上面的译文是否忠实于原文?

上面的译文是违背原意的。该书译者显然是把你所问的句子看作是下句的否定形式了:

It's worse than the last exercise. (这比上次的练习糟。)

其实,此句否定形式是:It's not worse than the last exercise.(这并不比上次的练习糟。)而 no worse thannot worse than 的含义全然不同,它表示“同……一样好”。见 no larger than

He is no worse than the others. 他跟其他人一样好。[不能译为:他不比其他人坏(差)。

因为这意味着其他人坏(差)的意思]

[试译]它跟上次的练习同样好。

A. as worse as B. no worse than C. as better than D. not better as (TOEFL)

答案为 B(no worse than)no worse than 是什么意思呀?怎么在英汉词典里查不着呢?

见上条和 no more than, no less than, no larger than
