2011GRE考试阅读辅导：长难句实例分析56
But the play’s complex view of Black self-esteem and human solidarity as compatible is no more "contradictory" than Du Bois’ famous，well-considered ideal of ethnic self-awareness coexisting with human unity，or Fanon’s emphasis on an ideal internationalism that also accommodates national identities and roles. (5)但该剧有关黑人自尊可与人类团结相融合这一复杂观点，丝毫都不比杜波伊斯(Du Bois)的理想或法侬(Fanon)的强调来得更为“矛盾”：杜波伊斯提出的著名的、深思熟虑的理想是，民族的自觉可以和人类大同共存;法侬则对理想的国际主义进行了强调，而这一理想的国际主义同样也能兼容民族身份与角色。 No more … than :一样不
注：view Black self-esteem and human solidarity ideal ethnic self-awareness coexisting with human unity emphasis national identities and roles accommodates internationalism
难句类型：复杂修饰、抽象词
解释：本句的一个大难点就是对A no more “contradictory” than B的理解，与我们想当然的意思正相反，其意思不是A不如B更矛盾，而是A与B同样都不矛盾。A no more…than B这个固定搭配的意思是A与B一样都不….例如：I can no more swim than a hammar并不是说我游泳不如锤子游得好，而是说我与锤子一样都无法游泳。
另一个难点在于句子中大量的抽象词，给读者的词汇能力提出了较高的要求。但是功底较好的读者应该可以发现，句中用来比较的前后项中的描述三个作家的九组词汇形成了一个3×4的同义词矩阵，如上述的注。每一列都是同义词，可以看出，这三个人的观点是相同的，也可以看出作者英语功底之深。
意群训练：But the play’s complex view of Black self-esteem and human solidarity as compatible is no more "contradictory" than Du Bois’ famous，well-considered ideal of ethnic self-awareness coexisting with human unity，or Fanon’s emphasis on an ideal internationalism that also accommodates national identities and roles.
