Idiom: not so much A as B 与其说A, 不如说B

人类的智慧与其它哺乳动物的智慧的最大不同，与其说是在任何特殊技巧上，还不如说是在我们有能力从一个领域拓宽知识到其它领域（举一反三）

OG解释：

Diction; Idiom

When using the term distinction to indicate difference, the correct preposition to use is between. In this sentence, the distinction may lie in a certain ability that humans do not share with other primates. The verb may lay is transitive, requiring a direct object.

A. With is the incorrect comparative term to follow distinctions between; lay is the incorrect verb.

B. With is the incorrect comparative term to follow distinctions between.

C. Correct. The preposition between and the intransitive verb may lie are correct in this sentence.

D. From is the incorrect preposition to use with distinction; without so much, which is used in (C), as seems to introduce a comparison for specific skill rather than a distinction.

E. Of is the incorrect preposition to use with distinction, and to is an incorrect comparative term; lay is the incorrect verb.

根本没有提as和but
