3 请问这个than分句中省略的成分是什么,done no more than satisfy...

原文来自Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince

They had done no more than satisfy themselves that Ron would make a full recovery on their last visit to the ward.

最刚开始我是将这个句话中的no more than视为副词结构,相当于only或者just,转换一下就就是They had only satisfied themselves that Ron would make a full recover on their last visit to the ward(故事背景:RonHarry Potter的好朋友,因为误服毒酒导致住院,They指代的是Ron的父母)。但是satisfy在原文中确是原形?

然后我觉得这句还可以不可以变成They had done no moremore为宾语成分)than they would do ____(省略成分) to satisfy themselves that....(不定式to被省略了)。

虽然句子意思比较清晰明了,但是不知道怎么去理解这个句子的结构,希望老师能够不吝解答~~~~

不要想多了,你的第一种理解是对的。

这里的 no more than 作习语看待,意思是“只不过”“仅仅”“只是”等,相当于onlynothing butdo no more than do sth是英语中的常用表达。例如:

He was licensed to do no more than send a message. 允许他做的事情只不过是捎个信而已。

Half the people who declare they like gardening do no more than play at it. 有一半声称自己喜欢园艺的人只不过是玩玩而已。

原句意为:他们上次去病房探视,只是确认了罗恩完全能够康复。
