no less than和not less than的区别
no less than的意思是“不亚于”，not less than的意思是“不少于”。试比较：
There were no less than a thousand people at the meeting.
到会的有一千人之多。(有“到会人多”的含义)
There were not less than one thousand people at the meeting.
到会的至少有一千人。(没有“到会人多或人少”的含义)
This song is no less popular than that one.
这首歌之受欢迎不亚于那首歌。(有“两首歌都受欢迎”的含义)
This song is not less popular than that one.
这首歌受欢迎的程度不比那首差。(纯粹比较。不一定有“两首歌都受欢迎”的含义)
