一 : no better than的问题
no better than的问题
可以表示no better than前的比no better than后的差吧?
用金山翻译成“几乎等于”...所以疑惑中...
many of them can not do better than those who are major in that field
这里可以表示 not do better than 前的比 not do better than
A is no better than B
A也没比B好
说的是A和B为半斤八两,差不多的意思.
例句：I think that the green one is very outstanding but my dad said the blue one is the best, finally my mom concludes that the blue one is no better than the green one.
我认为绿的非常不错但是我爸认为蓝的最好,最后我妈总结,说蓝的没比绿的好多少.
是这个逻辑顺序,请参考
二 : White Lie Is Better Than Never Lie
White Lie Is Better Than Never Lie
“To lie or not to lie, that is the question”. It’s appropriate to quote the Shakespeare’s famous proverb “To be or not to be, that is the question.”
Sometimes, it’s difficult to decide whether telling lies is right or not, but one thing that can be sure is telling white lie is superior to never lie. That is to say telling lies is not always wrong, instead, it can turn out to be a wonderful thing.
My grandmother’s youngest sister, who died of cancer several years ago, makes almost all of her sisters and brothers sorrow-stricken except for her oldest sister who suffers from severe disease. As the matter of fact, the oldest sister is kept from any sad news about the youngest sister because her relatives are afraid that their oldest sister’s disease will deteriorate if she knows the truth. When the oldest sister asks why her youngest sister does not come to visit her. Her relatives will answer that “She is busy now, and before long she will come to visit you’’. She seemed to see a gleam of hope and a trace of pleasure every time she hears that.
Another case is about my neighborhood who suffered from lung cancer. I remember that when she was diagnosed with lung cancer, everybody surrounded her just told her that she just cough a heavy cold and they also comforted her not to be worried. Since that time, she looked happier than before and she just stayed with her grandson in the sunshine every day. Except that she would be tormented by the pain sometimes, in most of the time, she was serene and content about the current life. Finally, she could not escape from the torment of lung cancer, but she did live a carefree life at her old age.
White lie is the most beautiful lie in the world, our mood, our values and even our fate will sometimes be influenced or changed by it.

四 : 听歌学英语:了解我甚于我自己 Better Than I Know Myself
英文歌词
不羁的黑发，魅惑的眼线，双手涂着黑色指甲油，这已经成为Adam Lambert的标志，这位被誉为"Rock God"的音乐天才，这位刚出道便已赢得众多关注的乐坛新星，他用一场又一场演唱会级别的演出，攻陷着每一位挑剔听者的耳朵；他用华丽挥霍的嗓音，激情四射的舞台，阳光灿烂的笑容，善良幽默的品性与摄人心魄的魅力，虏获了无数歌迷的心。
Cold as ice
And more bitter than a December
Winter night
That's how I treated you
And I know that I
I sometimes tend to loose my temper
And I cross the line
Yeah that's the truth
I know it gets hard sometimes
But I could never
Leave you aside
No matter what I say
Cause if I wanted to go
I would've gone by now
But I really need you near me
To keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave
I would've left by now
But you're the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself
All along
I tried to pretend it didn't matter
If I was alone
Deep down I know
If you were gone
For even a day
I wouldn't know which way to turn
Cause I'm lost without you
I get kind of dark
Let it go too far
I can be obnoxious at times
But try and see my heart
Cause I need you now
So don't let me down
You are the only thing in this world
I would die without
中文歌词
冷若冰霜
比十二月的天气更让人难熬
就像冬天的寒夜
那就是我对待你的方式
我也清楚
我有时控制不住自己的脾气
我触犯了你的底线
这就是事实
我知道情况有时会很糟
但我从来没有想过
抛下你
无论我说了什么
因为如果我想要走
我早就远走高飞了
但我是真的需要你在我身边
帮助我摆脱精神崩溃的边缘
如果我想要离开
我早就到了你看不见我的地方了
但你是唯一懂我的人
懂我更甚于我自己的人
一路走来
我试图假装我对你毫不在意
但一旦我独自一人
我了然于心
如果你不在我身边
哪怕只有一天
我一定会无所适从
因为没有了你，一切枉然
我心如死灰
我已犯了太多不可弥补的错误
我有时可以变得惹人厌
但求你再看一眼我和我的诚心
所以不要让我失望
因为我现在需要你
你是我在这世上
唯一留恋的事
音语时光
If I wanted to leave would’ve left by now, but you're the only one that knows me better than I know myself. 如果我想要离开，我早就到了你看不见我的地方了，但你是唯一懂我的人，懂我更甚于我自己的人。也许，有的人天生不会表达吧，所以明明在意，却还对别人冷若冰霜（cold as ice）。歌词中不乏这样生动的短语，因而这歌词听起来也动人心魄。下面我们来学习一下歌词中出现的短语。
cold as ice 冷若冰霜
The owner of the restaurant is as cold as ice to the customers.
那一家餐厅的老板对顾客态度冷淡。
lose one's temper 发脾气，发火
I sometimes tend to loose my temper.
我有时控制不住自己的脾气
cross the line 做得过分
My father would never cross the line like that.
我爸从来不会干那么出格的事。
leave aside 搁置，不考虑
Leave the difficult questions aside for now and try to answer the easier ones.
暂时把难的问题搁在一边，先想法解答较容易的问题。
all along 自始至终，一直
Everyone knew immediately that she had been faking it all along.
大家立刻知道她从头到尾都在装模作样。
deep down 在心底；实际上
Deep down inside, do you still believe in Santa Claus ?
在你内心深处，你相信有圣诞老人吗?
go too far 做得过分，做得过火
You've gone too far; you should be punished.
你太过分了，你应该受到惩罚。
obnoxious 讨厌的，可憎的
He is the most obnoxious man I know.
他是我认识的最可憎的人。
