例176　Nobody with any sense expects to find the truth in advertisements about the quality of products any more than he expects a man to describe his shortcomings, which reflects the human nature of some people.

【结构分析】这句话是个no (any) more than...结构，表示前者没有，后者也一样没有，前后都否定。any more than前面的主语是Nobody，动词是expects to find，宾语是the truth，后面加介词短语in advertisements about the quality of products，做定语，修饰前面的宾语，any more than后面的主干是he expects a man to describe his shortcomings，后面是整个句子的非限性定语从句which reflects the human nature of some people。

【亮点回放】此句话的亮点在于no (any) more than...结构，表示前者没有，后者也一样没有，前后都否定。比如I don't love singing any more than you love dancing，翻译成“我不喜欢唱歌就像你不喜欢跳舞一样”。

【核心词汇】

with any sense　从任何意义说

the quality of products　产品质量

shortcomings　缺点

human nature　人性

【参考译文】没有人从任何意义上能够发现广告宣传产品质量的真实情况，就像一个人不要期待面试者在面试中说自己缺点一样，这是人性使然。
