no other than 与 none other than都可表示“不是别的，正是……”的意
思。两者区别不大，常可换用。例如:
1）The tall figure that you saw was no other than our manager.
The tall figure that your way was none other than our manager.

2 ）It was no other than Jones who paid the medical expense for you.
It was none other than Jones who paid the medical expense for you.
为你付医疗费不是别人，正是琼斯。
no other than 侧重于“正是那个”我们所知道的，熟悉的或在谈论的人。
有时可相当于very的用法。
1）It was no other than Tommy Traddles who told me this piece of information.
Tommy Traddles was the very person who told me this piece of informatio
告诉我这段消息的不是别人正是 Tommy Traddles。
2）He is no other than the famous writer I have often talked about.
He is the very famous writer I have often talked about.
他正是我经常谈起的那位著名作家。
3）You are no other than the professional talent we are looking for.
You are the very professional talent we are looking for.
你正是我们要物色的专业人材。
none other than 语气更强，表示惊奇、赞美、强调等语气时多用 none
other than。
1）The tall figure over there is none other than the great mathematician, Bill
Williams, himself.
那位身材魁梧的先生正是大数学家贝尔·威廉姆斯本人。 （带有对贝尔·威
廉姆斯赞美之情）
2）The winner of the speech contest was none other than Tom who doesn’t talk
much in daily life.
这次演讲比赛的冠军竟然是汤姆，他平时不太讲话。 （带有惊奇之情）

5）The doctor who performed the operation for her was none other than her own
father.

注： 表示“不是别的，正是……”多少带有情感，这正是现代英语中较多使用 none
other than 而
较少使用 no other than 的原因。
