The great use of a school education is [not so much] to teach you things [as to] teach you the art of learning.

句中not so much 和as to 什么意思。
怎么用,给个简单例句。

not so much----as

是 不是---而是---的意思,或“与其说…不如说…”的意思。

例句比如: He is not so much a teacher as a businessman.

与其说他是个教师,倒不如说他是个商人.

原文:The great use of a school education is [not so much] to teach you things [as to] teach you the art of learning.
这句话的意思是:学校教育的重大作用不是教给你什么而是教你学习的艺术

注意:但是not so much as 和not so much ... as是意思不相同的两个句型。

not so much as这个结构相当于“not even”,所以通常翻译为“甚至不…,甚至没有…”。

not so much …as…这个结构表示的基本意义和not as (or so)…as…一样,但是通常翻译为“与其说…不如说…”。

not so much ...as为"与其说是...不如说是",

It is not so much that the core elements of pickpocketing have been altered as the tone has been transformed.
翻译为:尽管扒手们的作案方式改变了,但是其实质并没有变化.
