★ 重点英语词汇句型语法解析:
本句的难点在I admit that 后的宾语从句: a man cannot be without luck any more than he can be without money.
本句是一个含有比较状语从句的复合句。其中：a man cannot be without luck any more....
是主句； than he can be without money. 是比较从句。
这个句型是：A not any more than B 这种结构，虽然是比较意义，但是对A，B两个事物/事件的全部否定。意为“A和B一样都不...”；相当于：Neither A nor B can be used to justify...【重点提示】not any = no,“not...any more than”是一种比较结构，意味着主句和比较从句全都否定。翻译时，可灵活掌握。
A.This book is not more important than that one.这本书不比那本书重要。（最多一样重要，可能不如）
B.This book is not any more important than that one.
这本书跟那本书一样都不重要。
C.This book is no more important than that one.这本书跟那本书一样都不重要。（C句意思同B句）
D.Those who are against it point out that the fact that humans benefit cannot be used to justify using animals in reserch any more than it can be used to justify experimenting on other humans. 那些反对这个问题的人士指出人类从中受益这一事实不能成为把动物用于研究的理由，就像不能成为在人类自己身上做实验的理由一样。
E. You cannot do the impossible any more than we can.你和我们同样不能做不可能的事情。
F. (A) He is no more diligent than I am.我们俩人都不勤奋。(B) He is not any more diligent than I am.
【FOCUS】not any = no，“not...any more than”是一种比较结构，意味着主句和比较从句全都否定。请看下面两个例句，并试着改写
He does not like western culture any more than I do. 他和我一样都不喜欢西方文化。
This is not my duty any more than it is yours. 这不是你的职责，同样也不是我的职责。

在构思好的设计时，要首先考虑两个基本的先决条件，第一条件是知道自己的目标，第二个条件是知道自己拥有什么资源。根据资源调整目标或根据目标调整资源之后，就有了一个基础——可以据以构思设计的结构，剩下的东西就是用手段与时机去填充，和等待运气的来临了。
There are two basic prerequisites for conceiving a good design. The first prerequisite is to know your goals, and the second is to know what resources you have.
