请教这句话

goldgarden

见一篇短文有一句
Technique is of no use unless it is combined with the musical knowledge and understanding...
如果用 Technique is not useful...., 应该也可以？  原文用 is of no use 的优点是什么？

谢谢指点。

...

这个，我觉得楼主太钻牛角尖了。 不过个人感觉如果用 not useful 的话，语气不如OF NO USE强

饼叔说的基本正确，我们看看砖家是怎么解释的：

Here's what Michael Swan has to say on the subject:

not and no

To make a word, expression or clause negative, we use 'not'.
Not surprisingly, we missed the train. (NOT ... 'no' surprisingly)

The students went on strike, but not the teachers.
(NOT ... but no the teachers)

I can see you tomorrow, but not on Thursday.
I have not received his answer.

We can use 'no' with a noun or -ing form to mean 'not any', or 'not a/an'.

No teachers went on strike. (=There weren't any teachers on strike.)

I've got no Thursdays free this term. (=I haven't got any Thursdays ...)

I telephoned, but there was no answer. (=There wasn't an answer.)

NO SMOKING.

Sometimes sentences constructed with verb + not and no + noun have similar meanings. The structure with 'no' is usually more emphatic.
There wasn't an answer. / There was no answer.
