核心问题
I was particularly worried because her cancer was getting worse and she didn't need any more stress. (Hillary, Living History, p. 257)
[原译]我格外担忧,因为她的癌症恶化了,不能再受到更大压力。(希拉里,《亲历历史》,p.151)
请问 any more stress 可以译为“更大的压力”吗？
词典解答
any more stress 中的 more 在这里不作“更大的”或“更多的”解，而作“另外的”“其他的”解，既可跟可数名词连用，亦可跟不可数名词连用。any more 可以译为“再”，not...any more
可以译为“不再”。例如：
-
There aren't any more sausages. I'm afraid. 对不起,再没有腊肠了。
-
Have you any more paper? Yes, we have plenty more. 你还有纸吗？是的，我们还有许多。
-
I don't expect we'll have any more trouble from him. 我想他不会再给我们找麻烦了。
-
I looked into the boy's serious but eager face and asked him, "Do you want any more books?" (参见 any more) 我看着男孩那严肃而热切的面庞问他: “你还想买别的书吗?”
[试译]我格外担忧，因为她的癌症日益恶化，不能再受压力了。
