英语翻译This is not new,alas,any more than were the claims for t

哎,比起其他声称有可能带来和平的手段相比,这并没有什么新意。
alas是插入语。
than 引导一个比较从句,不过从句中动词be提前了。目的是为了句子的平衡,因为主语太长。
另外,not……any more than是个表示否定的句子,就像……不是……一样,……也不是……
如：he is not a teacher any more than you is。
I would not trust him any more than i would trust a thief。
整个句子还原成简单些的结构：This is not new,and the the claims for the peace-making possibilities of other new technologies is not new,either。
或：this is not new。the previous technologies is not new,either,though the inventors claimed that those technologies have the possibilities for making peace。
