Question

一道高中英语选择题

John plays football_________,if no better than ,David.
A、as well as B、as well C、so well as D、so well
最好有详细解释，感激不尽！

Answer 1

A
这是一句两种比较并列的句子，这里要求比较一定要完整。
John playes football as well as David.
John plays football not better than David 这两句并起来，就成了

意思为： 字面上：John 打球即使没有好过David，也跟他一样好。
意思： John 打球不比David差

Answer 2

A 约翰足球踢得最起码和戴维德一样好，if not better than是插入语，把它去掉再看原句就好理解了。
PS：那个应该是if not better than而不是 if no better than，no better than意思是两个踢得都不好，就不合句意了。
