如果我要表达：与其说XX是A，不如说XX是B。应该怎么用英语说呢？我记得以前大学英语里面有一个说法，貌似是：not much A, but B......不知道还有人记得不？

用rather than 吧

lz记错了，是not so much as

我就是想避免用rather than这个句式。你一说我就有点印象了，貌似是not so much A as B......


能说一下是出现在college english的哪一册吗？我想翻书确认一下。

谢谢了！

就是not so much A as B......

我们课文上一句:
Each picture therefore seemed not so much an image of somethings that happened a half-century ago as a window cut into the wall of the photography center showing that what soon could easily happen to New York...

原来我以前学过的英语课本里面还有这么绕口的句子啊^^
