243. When the results were recorded, they'd done no better than they would have by simply guessing.
譯文 當(dāng)結(jié)果被記錄下來(lái)的時(shí)候，他們所做的事比簡(jiǎn)單地猜想好不了多少。
點(diǎn)睛 本句的主干是...they'd done no better than...。when引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。
record意為“記錄，記載”。本句中的had done no better than意為“不比……好多少”，它是do no good (to sb./sth.)的變體形式。do no good (to sb./sth.) 的含義為“對(duì)（某人或某事）沒(méi)有好處”。
考點(diǎn)歸納 本句中的do good to在口語(yǔ)中也是很常用的表達(dá)，意為“對(duì)……有好處”。除此之外，與good有關(guān)的常用口語(yǔ)表達(dá)還有：
It's good to see you. 很高興看到你。
It was a good death for him. 他死得其所。
Give it a good try. 努力試試。
What's good about it? 有什么好？
