長難句：but his primary task is not to think about the moral code,which governs his activity,any more than a businessman is expected to dedicate his energies to an exploration of rules of conduct in business.

重點詞匯： code，any more than，

■答案■

1、長難句：但是，他的首要任務(wù)并不是考慮支配自己行動的道德規(guī)范，就如同不能指望商人專注于探索行業(yè)規(guī)范一樣。

分析： 這是一個比較句，主句的主干結(jié)構(gòu)是his primary task is not to think about the moral code，定語從句（which governs his activity）修飾the moral code。理解和翻譯此句的關(guān)鍵是理解詞組any more than。

2、 code有“編碼；準(zhǔn)則”的意思。the moral code（道德規(guī)范），the code of conduct（行為準(zhǔn)則）。the moral code is simple,as it involves one’s morals or for that matter judgment of others’ morals.（道德規(guī)范是個簡單的問題，因為它涉及一個人的道德或?qū)e人道德的判斷。） any more than意為“較……多些”，not any more than“不比……多些”。i don’t like the guy any more than you do.(我并不比你更喜歡那個家伙。）there are no typical harvard professors,any more than there are typical harvard students.（沒有什么典型的哈佛大學(xué)教授，也沒有什么典型的哈佛大學(xué)學(xué)生。）
