not是副词，后面有冠词

no 否定名词，not 否定动词

所以这个例句中应该用no还是not

: Y, ]6 ]4 I" t$ @+ E5 H再比如 There is no one in the room. 还是 There is not one in the room.

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

1 b* N- D" B; F/ c, U嗯，你看得很仔细，它这里确实没给不可数名词的例句

书中另一处给了不可数名词的例句，并且再次说了下两者的区别，用 no 属于更强调的语气
( C6 y/ V9 t0 _. f& D  R' L. A
9 v9 T! A; ~) b- a: Z9 v

No can be used instead of not a or not any when we want to emphasise a
negative idea.
Would you believe it? There’s no mirror in the bathroom! (More emphatic than
. . . There isn’t a mirror . . .)
7 N' h* k, v, K. bSorry I can’t stop. I ’ve got no time. (More emphatic than . . . I haven't got any

所以no 和 not a/any 之间进行互换
( j$ C! f& _4 w" o6 k那我怎么觉得朗文的例句用no也行啊。hyperbole不可数，他也没有加any，却只有一个not。

用 no 也不算错的，只是意思不同，变得更强调，词典例句是正常语气说话，用不着这么强调
) F5 ?- E# R0 y( B' p! O% B如果是在跟人争论，对方非说这是 hyperbole，你说这根本不是 hyperbole，就可以用 no

因为这里不是在讲数量，而是单纯的否定。

做个简单对比：
2 Q9 f8 ?4 `3 bIt was [a pleasure 可数] to meet you.  否定：It was not [a pleasure] ...
5 J+ {2 X+ K3 UIt is [hyperbole 不可数] to call it...       否定：It is not [hyperbole] ...

; e4 ^/ ~5 N1 U7 {+ V9 j如果真的要用 no hyperbole，可以说 there is no hyperbole in calling it... 注意这里用了there is

冠词分为定冠词、不定冠词和零冠词，这里就是”零冠词+不可数名词“（not + 零冠词 + hyperbole）
