"A whale is no more a fish than a horse is"
I think it descrbies 'A horse is no fish(we already know it)' and 'A whale is "hell" no fish'
It means the degree of 'A whale is not a fish' is greater than 'A horese is not a fish'
but some teachers said the difference between the two is the same
Which one do you think is correct?
1. the same
2. this sentence is for an emphasis on 'a whale is not a fish'
so, 'a whale is not a fish' is greater than 'a horse is not a fish'
,which surely means both are not a fish.
Thank you all.
