no longer

(1) 用作副词表示时间上的“不再”，可用no longer, not…any longer, not…any more：

He knows that he is no longer young. 他知道自己不再年轻。

She could no longer go to school. 她不再能上学了。

This is no longer a distant dream. 这已不再是遥远的梦。

We don’t live here any more [longer]. / We no longer live here. 我们不住在这里了。

He once knew her, but they are no longer friends. 他过去认识她，但现在不再是朋友了。

no longer 通常位于句中的实意动词之前，动词be、助动词和情态动词之后，有时也可位于句末或句首(用于句首时，其后用倒装语序)：

He no longer loves her. / He loves her no longer. / No longer does he love her. 他再也不爱她了。

【注】原来no more 也可表示时间上的“不再”(但要与非延续性动词连用，且位于句末)，但在现代英语中，no more 一般不这样用。
