问题: 一道选择题~

The woman saw "a large cat" _______ five yards away from her.
A.no more than
B.within
答案是A
但是解析里说no more than=within/only
那为什么不选B呢?

解答:

其实,no more than这里只是,不超过。而within是介词,在...之内, 不越出。
The woman saw "a large cat" (no more than) five yards away from her.

within 和away不能一起使用,如果用within 5 yards就已经表示在5码之内了,后接一个away纯属多余。
