“no+比较级+than”结构:
这类结构的实际意思是对待比较的两个对象进行否定,相当于该原级形容词或副词使用as…as结构的意思。如no better than = as bad as,意为“与……一样不好”,no faster than = as slow as,意为“与……一样不快”,no taller than = as short as,意为“与……一样不高”等。

两者均可表示数量,前者表示“仅仅”、“只有”(= only),强调少;而后者表示“不多于”、“至多”(= at most)。如:
It is no more than five miles to the station. 去车站只有5英里。
It is not more than five miles to the station. 去车站最多5英里。(from http://yingyu.chazidian.com)
