记忆这两个短语的意思的时候,最好要抛开汉语的影响,而用英语去解释英语
no less than = as many / much as ;
no more than = as little / few as
因此翻译汉语的时候,no less than 要翻译成 “不比。。。。。。少”,而 no more than 则要翻译成 “不比。。。。。。多”, 更多的时候no more than 直接翻译成“仅仅”就可以了。
(no + 某形容词 / 副词的比较级 + than 可以看成是 as + 某形容词 / 副词的反义词的原级 + as 结构
比如 no easier than =as difficult as 不比。。。。。。简单, 像。。。。。。一样难)
理解这两个短语的时候一定要与not less than 及not more than 区分开,not less than要翻译成“不少于”也就是说是“大于等于。。。。。。”的关系,not more than 则翻译成“不多于”, 也就是说是“小于等于。。。。。。”的关系。 翻译:
She is not less active than she used to be.这是一个老师的答案,来自互联网,比较全面。如下:

more& 与more ...than ...
    more than 与more …than 短语在英语中使用得十分广泛。其用法和意义并不简单,一不留神就可能用错。因为more than 与more …than 除了具备其基本用法外,还有些特殊用法。理解和翻译时要特别小心,不能一看到more than就简单地按照字面上的意思将其理解为“比……更……”或“超过”等,而是要根据上下文出more than 短语的确切含义,只有这样才不至于贻笑大方。
     more than 相当于一个形容词或副词短语,在句中作定语或状语,修饰其后的动词、副词、数词或名词等。
一.   more than 的用法
1. more than 后跟数词,相当于over,翻译成“……多、超过……”等,强调某物数量上超出某一范围。
    More than 1,500 people were killed in the earthquake. 地震中有一千五百多人遇难。
    I have collected more than 3 hundred stamps so far. 到目前为止,我已收集了300多张邮票。
    I’ve known him for more than 20 years. 我认识他已经二十多年了。 
    Their college enrolled more than five hundred new students this year. 他们学院今年招收了五百多名新生。
2. more than 后跟名词或动名词,相当于over, not just, not only,表示“不只是、不仅仅是”等。例如:
She is more than a teacher to us, she is our friend. 他不只是教师,她还是我们的朋友。
Hibernation is more than sleep. 冬眠不仅仅是睡眠。
Wood is used for more than building. 木头不仅仅用于建筑。
Blood is much more than the simple fluid it seems to be. 血液不仅仅是一种外表似乎简单的液体。
My trip to Beijing is more than sightseeing. 我去北京不仅仅是旅游观光。
I like autumn more than summer. 我喜欢秋天胜过夏天。
He is more than a soldier. He is simply a hero. 他岂止是个战士,简直是个英雄。
注:more than one意为“不止一个”,若用作主语,谓语用单数;more +复数名词+than one做主语时,谓语用复数。例如:
More than one teacher has been to Australia in this college. 这所学院的教师中,不止一人去过澳大利亚。
More ships than one were damaged in the storm. 不止一艘轮船在这次暴风雨中受损。
More than one book has been translated into foreign languages. 不止一本书被译成了外语。
