3.形容词、副词递减的比较等级的构成
在形容词、副词前加less和least,表示“较不”和“最不”
interesting有趣的 less interesting较无趣的 least interesting最无趣的
important重要的 less important较不重要的 least important最不重要的
4.没有比较级和最高级的形容词、副词
有些形容词由于其本身涵义一般不用来比较。如:
① 表示“完全、特别”意义的形容词
final, hopeless, fatherless, matherless, universal, complete, entire, excellent, perfect, thorough, total, whole, full, empty, relative, homeless, harmless, impossible等。
② 表示“极限、主次”意义的形容词
chief, extreme, main, major, basic, primary, first, most, wonderful,
③ 表示“几何形状”的形容词
angular, circle, level, oval, round, square, horizontal, triangle, straight, hollow等。
④ 表示“处所、方位、时间”的形容词
ahead, daily, weekly, here, now, present, then, backward, outside, future, once等
⑤ 表示“状态和强调”的形容词
asleep, ashamed, awake, aware, blind, deaf, dead, naked,favorite, hardly, simple, very
⑥ 表示“国籍、性质、材料”的形容词
American, economic, scientific, woolen, true, false, illegal
⑦ 表示“独一无二”的形容词
mere, only, single, sole, matchless
⑧ junior等词
junior, senior, inferior, prior没有比较级和最高级,要同to连用,不能和than连用。
⑨“most+形容词”可表达一种程度上非常高的特性和品质,表示“非常”或“在很大程度上”,但却 不表示比较,这时most前一般无the。
What he said is most interesting.他说的话有趣极了。
Don't you know it is a most important question?难道你不知道这是个很重要的问题?
(二)形容词比较级和最高级的用法
1.二者之间的比较
(1)递增:用于事物二者之间的比较,表示程度上“更高”;常用从属连词than连接。其结构为含有形容词比较级的主句+than引导的从句(其中意义上和主句相同的部分常省去)。
Tom is taller than his deskmate.汤姆比他同桌高。
The black car is more expensive than the red one .这辆黑车比那辆红车更贵。
(2)递减:用于事物二者之间的比较,表示程度上“更低”;常用从属连词than连接。
She is less beautiful than Mary.她不如玛丽漂亮。
(3)同级比较:表示程度相等(同)或不相等(同)时,as…as, not so(as)…
as…as之间通常用表示数量、程度、性质的词:many, much, little, few, good, tall, far等。
You look as tall as your father.你看上去跟你爸爸一般高。
Now Jack isn't driving so fast as he used to.如今杰克开车不如以前那么快了。
2.二者以上的事物比较
用于二者以上的事物比较,形容词、副词的最高级表示程度上“最高”。形容词最高级前一般需加定冠词the。
This is the best film I have ever seen.这是我看过的最好的电影。
3.修饰比较等级常用的副词
形容词和副词的比较等级常用下列词修饰表程度:much, far,by far, even, still, a little, no ,
a lot, rather, any(用于否定句或疑问句)a great deal等。
I'm sure you'll make still greater progress.我肯定你能取得更大的进步。
There're now a lot more trees on the hills around the village.
现在村庄四周的山上树木多多了。
4.比较级+and+比较级
常用“比较级+and+比较级”来表达“越来越’。
His voice got weaker and weaker.他的声音越来越弱。
Take some medicine and you'll get better and better.吃些药吧,你会越来越好。
5. “the+比较级…, the+比较级…”来表达“越…,(就)越…”
The harder you study, the greater progress you’ll make.你越努力,进步就越大。
6.“the +比较级+of the two”来表示“两个中最…”
表示两者中较突出者,且比较级后又有名词, 这时的比较级前一定要加定冠词the。 如:
Joan is the taller of the two girls.琼是这两个女孩中较高的一个。
7.“more A than B”表示“与其说是B,不如说是A”
He is more diligent than clever.与其说他聪明,不如说他勤奋。
8.表示倍数
(1) 倍数+形容词 (或副词)的比较级+than
This rope is twice longer than that one.这根绳的长度是那根绳的三倍。(比那根绳长二倍)
(2)倍数+as+形容词(或much)或副词原级+as
This big stone is three times as heavy as that one.
这块大石头的重量是那一块的三倍。(这块石头比那块重二倍)
(3)倍数+the size(length, width, height)of
This street is four times the length of that one.这条街是那条街的四倍长。
注意:如果形容词是修饰名词的,要把名词放在形容词后面。即:①倍数+more+名词 (可数,不可数)+than②倍数+as many(或much)+名词+其他+as
9.“no+比较级+than”表示该形容词的反义词。
He is no richer than a beggar.他穷得像乞丐。
10.使用比较级要注意的几点:
(1)比较的对象必须是属于同一性质(范畴)内的人或物。如:
[误]The weather of Shanghai is finer than Beijing.
这句表达的是上海的天气与北京相比,比较对象不一致。应改为:
The weather of Shanghai is finer than that of Beijing.
(2)要避免比较级中自身与自身比较。如:
[误]Joan studies harder than any student in her class.
Joan属于any student中的一位,没有排除自身比较。应改为:
Joan studies harder than any other student in her class.
Joan studies harder than any of the other students in her class.
Joan studies harder than anyone else in her class.
上述三个正确的句子可分别用下列结构表示:
any other+单数可数名词
……比较级+ than + any of the other+复数可数名词
anyone else
但是,不同范围的同类人或物进行比较时,则than引导的从句中不用other。
China is larger than any country in Europe.
(3).要避免重复比较。如:
[误] Mary runs more faster than Lucy.
more是many/ much的比较级,它只能构成比较级而不能修饰比较级。 应改为:
Mary runs faster than Lucy.
