2017年高考英語二輪專題復習3形容詞和副詞
he works even harder than before.
注意:by far通常用于強調最高級。用于比較級時,一般放在比較級的后面,如在前面,應在二者中
間加“the”。
he is taller by far than his brother.
he is by far the taller of the two brothers.
④表示一方隨另一方的程度而變化時,用“the +比較級(主語+謂語),the +比較級(主語+謂語)”
的結構(意為“越……越……”);
the harder he works, the happier he feels.
⑤不與其他事物相比,表示本身程度的改變時,用“比較級+ and+比較級”的結構;
the weather is getting colder and colder.
the girl becomes more and more beautiful.
⑥某些以-ior結尾的形容詞進行比較時,用to代替than。這些詞有inferior(劣等的,次的)、superior(較
好的,優于……)、junior(資歷較淺的)、senior(資格較老的)、prior(在……之前)等;
he is superior to mr.zhang in chemistry.
⑦在比較從句中為了避免重復,我們通常用that(those)、one(ones)代替前面出現的名詞。that指物,one既可指人又可指物。that可代替可數名詞單數和不可數名詞,而one只能代替可數名詞;
the book on the table is more interesting than that(或the one)on the desk.
a box made of steel is stronger than one made of wood.
⑧否定詞+比較級
該結構用否定形式表示肯定意義。要掌握該結構的用法,須注意以下幾點:
▲該結構多為“can't /couldn't +比較級”的形式
i can't agree with you more.我再同意你的意見不過了。(或:我完全同意你的意見。)
the weather couldn't be worse.天氣再糟糕不過了。
he couldn't have done better.他做得再好不過了。
▲用于該結構中的否定詞除了not之外,還有no,never,nothing等
this could give her no greater pleasure.這使她再高興不過了。
there's nothing cheaper.這東西再便宜不過了。
there is no greater love than that of a man who lays down his life for his friends.
為朋友而放棄生命的愛是最偉大的愛。
▲當該結構中的比較級為less時,其意義為“一點也不”
試比較:he couldn't care more.他非常介意。(或:他最關心不過了。)
he couldn't care less.他毫不介意。(或:他最漠不關心了。)
注意:反過來用肯定形式表示否定意義。這種用法主要見于:
▲know better than+不定式。這種結構意為“不至于”
you have a better command of french than to make such mistakes.
你的法語較好,不至于犯這樣的錯誤。
he is more experienced than to do such a thing.
他比較有經驗,不至于做這樣的事。
▲more than…can。這種句型形式上是肯定,實際上有否定含義
the boys in the street have become very insolent and it is more than flesh and blood can bear.
街上的男孩變得非常無禮,到了人所不能忍受的地步。
the beauty of the place is more than i can describe.
那地方美得無法形容。
⑨倍數表達法
▲a is three(four, etc.)times the size(height, length etc.)of b.
the new building is four times the size(the height)of the old one.
