(单词翻译:双击或拖选)
Something (much) of / nothing (little) of
Mr. Li is something of a philospher.李先生略具哲学家风范。
Mr. Wu is nothing of a musician.吴先生全无音乐家的风味。
Mr. Lu is very much of a poet.陆先生大有诗人气派。
Mr. Liu is little of a scholar.刘先生几无学者风度。
分析:此为表示“程度”的形容词短语,有时可以当作副词翻译。
Something of =to some extent(某程度),在问句和条件句中则用anyting of(略有、多少)。nothing of译作“全无、毫无”。
 
相类似的情况:
to be something of = to have something of + 名词+in +代名词
He is nothing in ability of an orator1 = He has nothing of an orator in his ability.他毫无演说家的才能。
 
这类名词的用法,可以处理为副词。
He has seen something of life.他略具阅历。他稍阅世。
 
Something of 与something like区别:程度上有差异。
something like = something approximateing in character or amount指数量或性质略同的事物,又作somewhat(似乎、略微)解释。
This is something like a pudding.此物略似布丁。
It shaped something like a cigar.其形状略似雪茄
