英译汉，解释下这个英语句子

he didn't do anything less Earth-shattering than completely change the way the universe was viewed.
解释下这句话的意思，明白大概意思，要逐字逐句的翻译，分析下这个句子

Answer 1

这句话需要意译：他做出了足以震撼全人类的壮举，即完全改变了人们对宇宙的看法。
这句话包含双重否定，he didn't...和less...than...，字面意思就是：他没做不够震撼人类的事情。双重否定即肯定，即：他做了足够震撼人类的事情。
具体分析：he主语，didn't do谓语，anything less...宾语，其中less Earth-shattering than completely...修饰anything，作定语。
句子里包含less...than...搭配，意思是：不如...
比如：Her skirt is less colorful than mine.　她的裙子不如我的裙子色彩鲜艳。

Answer 2

他并没有做出，不如完全改变人们看待宇宙的方式惊天动地，的事情
he didn't do anything 主干 他没有做出任何事
less Earth-shattering than completely change the way the universe was viewed.作定语修饰anything
怎样的事情呢？less Earth-shattering 不如其惊天动地的事情
不如什么惊天动地呢？completely change the way the universe was viewed. 完全改变人们看待宇宙的方式惊天动地
