Sure, here is a grammatical and vocabulary analysis of the sentence
"I had no more desire to sample the literature of Japan than I had to eat fish and rice for breakfast instead of cereal and milk," along with a translation-friendly English version that closely resembles the original Japanese:
Grammatical Analysis:
The sentence is a complex sentence composed of two main clauses connected by the coordinating conjunction "than." The first clause expresses the speaker's lack of desire to sample Japanese literature, while the second clause provides a comparison using the analogy of eating fish and rice for breakfast instead of the preferred cereal and milk.
Vocabulary Analysis:
"I had no more desire" - This phrase conveys the speaker's complete lack of interest in exploring Japanese literature.
"to sample" - The word "sample" implies a superficial or limited exposure to something.
"the literature of Japan" - This phrase refers to written works from Japan, encompassing a vast range of genres and styles.
"than I had to eat fish and rice for breakfast" - This comparison highlights the speaker's strong aversion to both the idea of sampling Japanese literature and the prospect of eating fish and rice for breakfast.
"instead of cereal and milk" - This phrase emphasizes the speaker's preference for cereal and milk over fish and rice for breakfast.
Translation-Friendly English:
英文② "The thought of exploring Japanese literature was no more appealing to me than the idea of starting my day with fish and rice for breakfast instead of my usual cereal and milk."
This version maintains the original sentence's structure and conveys the same meaning while using more accessible vocabulary and expressions. It also emphasizes the comparison between the speaker's lack of interest in Japanese literature and their aversion to an undesirable breakfast option.

いわゆる「くじらの公式」を知らないと英文④まで意味がわからないかも。④にいたってようやく英文の趣旨は伝わるものの文章の要素が変わっている（literatureがbookiに代わり instead of my favorite cereal and milkが抜けている）のでこれを日本語にしても最初の英文の日本語訳にはならない。③もliteratureがbooksに代わっているので翻訳にはならない。②がいわゆるtanslation-friendlyつまりChatGPTが日本語に訳す直前の英語だが、これは「公式」を知らないと訳せないだろう。
・・・といろいろ課題はあるが、プロンプトを「掘っていく（深めていく）」事例にはなるかもしれない。
最後に、ChatGPTの今の日本語の読解力と僕の英語表現力を鑑みると、 「プロンプトは日本語で書いて英語で答えてもらう」 のが最もパフォーマンスが高いと見た。 実はこの方法は、和英翻訳でネイティブスピーカーと仕事をしている時のコミュニケーション手法（「僕が日本語で質問するから、英語で答えて」とやっていた）だった。
