169. Humans should not try to avoid stress any more than they would shun food, love or exercise.
译文
人们不应该逃避压力,就像不能逃避食物、爱和运动一样。点睛
本句是一个简单句,其中包括了not...any more than的结构。avoid意为“避免;躲避”。如:
1) The boy avoided punishment by running away. 那个男孩为了逃避惩罚逃跑了。
2) He is a fugitive from justice trying to avoid being caught by the police. 他是个逃犯,正试图躲避警方的追捕。
shun的含义也是“避免;避开”。如:
His friends shunned him. 他的朋友都躲着他。
考点归纳
本句中的not...any more than为固定表达,表示“前者和后者一样都不……”。如:A learner cannot obtain knowledge without reading any more than a farmer can get good harvest without ploughing. 学习的人不阅读就不能获取知识,就像农民不耕地不能获得好收成一样。
而与此形式相似的表达not any more than相当于副词,意为“不过;仅仅;只”。如:
Abraham Lincoln's whole school education added up to not any/no more than one year. 亚伯拉罕·林肯所受的全部学校教育总共不超过一年的时间。
